Into Thin Air

The history of this specific book is at least interesting as the reasons why I've read it, and as the book itself ;-)
First, I saw the movie based on this book - while I was on my way to Nepal for the first time! Then, I followed some of the footsteps of those climbers when I was in Nepal for the second time -- we went to Namche Bazaar and turned left, towards Gokyo Lakes, rather then towards Everest (Base Camp; we would have never tried to thread on the Holy Mother herself!). And then, he published a book ABOUT another guy's story, disputing it... "Three Cups of Tea"... and THEN I found / stole this book in the spa where we were staying on the way to Leipzig and CCC: Bad Sulza. So there -- long story short ;-) -- I hope you like the book!
Share & Enjoy!
