Incredible story. Jules Mountain is a man with a good angel out for him. The story of his battle with cancer then mountain climbing is amazing. I read and enjoyed Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer years ago and thought it interesting, so I was happy to find and read this one as it also dealt with Mt. Everest. I am not one to ever want to climb a mountain myself, but do enjoy reading about others adventures in climbing. Sad, but informative eyewitness account of the Everest Earthquake that claimed 19 lives. Well written.

A fair chronicle of the earthquake and avalanche on Mount Everest. Lacking dramatic flair, this is still an interesting tale full of heroics and daring.

Thank you Net Valley for the free ARC. One man's dream of climbing Everest is ended by the large earthquake that shook the region several years ago (2015). Base camp was covered by an avalanche and many were injured or killed.
