Into Thin Air

by Jon Krakauer

G. K. Hall | October 15, 1998 | Hardcover

This is Jon Krakauer's hair-raising account of his struggle to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Into Thin Air is a step-by-step account of the journey from Katmandu to the mountain's deadly pinnacle. Krakauer offers and emotional account and vividly captures the terror and determination he and his companions experienced on their deadly ascent. He also sheds light on the strange allure the world's tallest mountain holds - that so many are willing to put their lives at risk climbing it.

I am writing this review just as my brother is climbing the Ice Fall on Everest. He called me 2 days ago from Base Camp just as they were to leave for the Fall. I have just re-read "Into Thin Air" and can think of no better book to describe the danger and glory of Everest. It is by far the best adventure book I have ever read; the author writes with authority and excitement. The tragedy of 1996 is made understandable.
