Summary: A Triumph of the Human Spirit
Comment: This novel is not only about the conquest to defeat Mt. Everest, it is about the strength of the human spirit.
While attempting to top Mt. Everest 10 climbers come to grips with their weaknesses and strengths. They come to understand about morality and the things that are truly important in this life.
This novel was a good read on several levels.
Rating: 3
Summary: A problem with reality
Comment: As a fictional novel this is a very good adventure read. The plot is interesting and plausible, however some aspects just don't ring true and that was distraction for me. Having read many actual accounts on climbing Everest and other Himalayan peaks, weather is always the number factor. Here the weather was perfect for 100 days in a row and didn't play a part until the very end. Hardly plausible. Then a character has serious injuries above 26,000 feet (shattered leg) and one other climber is able do the rescue. It took half a dozen people to rescue Beck Weathers in 1994 on Everest and he could at least walk. So other than a few reality problems, a decent novel.
