`The climb` is atrue, gripping, and though- provoking account of the worst
\ndisaster in the history of Everest in 1996. The real mountaineer`s story
\nbehind the fatal Everest climbs of Into Thin Air. <\/p>\n
The Climb is Russian mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev`s account of the harrowing
\nMay 1996 Mount Everest attempt, a tragedy that resulted in the deaths of eight
\npeople. The book is also Boukreev`s rebuttal to accusations from fellow
\nclimber and author Jon Krakauer, who, in his bestselling memoir, Into Thin
\nAir, suggests that Boukreev forfeited the safety of his clients to achieve his
\nown climbing goals.<\/p>\n
In May 1996 three expeditions attempted to climb Mount Everest on the
\nSoutheast Ridge route. Each group contained world-class climbers and relative
\nnovices, some of whom had paid tens of thousands of pounds for the climb. As
\nthey neared the summit, twenty-three men and women, including expedition
\nleaders Scott Fischer and Rob Hall, were caught in a ferocious blizzard.
\nDisorientated, out of oxygen and depleted of supplies, they struggled to find
\ntheir way to safety.<\/p>\n
Experienced high-altitude guide Anatoli Boukreev led his exhausted and
\nterrified group of six back to shelter before going back out alone into the
\nblizzard to help others stranded on the mountain. Rescuing a number of
\nclimbers from certain death, he emerged a hero.
\nThe Climb is his honest and gripping account of true endurance and contains
\ninterviews with some of the surviving climbers, medical personnel and Sherpas.
\nThis edition also includes the transcript of the Mountain Madness debriefing
\nas well as G. Weston DeWalt?s history and analysis of the Boukreev\/Krakauer
\ndebate. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
