As THE CLIMBERS OF THE 1996 Mt. EVEREST DISASTER VANISHED INTO THIN AIR, ONE MAN HAD THE COURAGE TO BRING THEM DOWN ALIVE
On May 10, 1996, two commercial expeditions headed by
expert leaders attempted to scale the world's largest peak.
But things went terribly wrong. Crowded conditions, bad
judgement, and a bitter storm stopped many climbers in
their tracks. Others were left for dead, or stranded on the
frigid mountain. Anatoli Boukreev, head climbing guide
for the Mountain Madness expedition, stepped into the
heart of the storm and brought three of his clients down
alive. Here is his amazing story—of an expedition fated for
disaster, of the blind ambition that drives people to attempt
such dangerous ventures, and of a modern-day hero, who
risked his own life to save others.
