The incredible true story of one of the survivors of the Everest disaster in
\n1996, which not only articulates the author’s indomitable will to live, but
\nalso documents his determination to rebuild his life. 7pp illus. <\/p>\n
Anyone who read Jon Krakauer’s account of the 1996 Everest disaster, ‚Into
\nThin Air‘, will be aware of the story of Beck Weathers: the gregarious Texan
\nclimber who went snow-blind in the Death Zone below the summit and who spent a
\nnight out in the open during a blizzard that took the lives of a dozen
\ncolleagues and friends. Even as he staggered back into Camp 4 the next
\nmorning, Beck’s condition was such that the other survivors assumed he would
\nnot make it back down the mountain. He was effectively left for dead, but
\ndrawing upon reserves of determination and courage he didn’t know he had – as
\nwell as the extraordinary selflessness and bravery of a Nepalese helicopter
\npilot he’d never met – he finally made it to safety. Only then could a new
\nbattle begin: to rebuild his life with a family he’d taken for granted for too
\nlong. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
