Özet

One of the inspirations for the major motion picture Everest, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley.

This is the true story of a 24-hour period on Everest when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended the worst single-season death toll in the peak's history.

In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall. Despite the expertise of Hall and the other leaders, by the end of summit day eight people were dead.

Krakauer's audiobook is at once the story of the ill-fated adventure and an analysis of the factors leading up to its tragic end. Written within months of the events it chronicles, Into Thin Air clearly evokes the majestic Everest landscape. As the journey up the mountain progresses, Krakauer puts it in context by recalling the triumphs and perils of other Everest trips throughout history. The author's own anguish over what happened on the mountain is palpable as he leads his listeners to ponder timeless questions.

tough reminder of human frailty but also our resolve.

There are at least 4 points when a section is repeated. clearly missed in the edit.

A great account for the tragic climb in 1996. How the teams bonded before ascent and the tragic loss of lives. Hypoxia effects on the brain and ability to think and act in a normal way comes across. As lack of oxygen, altitude and a sudden storm caused the lost of 12 people. The survivors feeling of guilt of survival and lack of ability to help save others comes across in this story. Great read would highly recommend it

Powerful story

I was gripped by the story of unfolding events along with the build up and background to those involved. However the narrator's performance lets the whole thing down, delivering in a whiny pitch with some extremely dodgy pronunciation thrown in for good measure. It was hard going!

Not a peak performance...
