I have become an armchair mountaineer since reading many books about Everest climbs. In truth; I am queasy with heights so I don't ever see myself attempting a climb like this. I have enjoyed reading and watching David Breashears's books and documentaries and this one is one of my new favorites. The story of Mallory's climb accompanied by the spectacular photographs made Mallory's climb come alive for me. Given it was done in the 1920's; the fact that these brave climbers without their North Face gear or high quality climbing gear is absolutely amazing. David put together an amazing tribute to Mr. Mallory and this is a book I know I will return to again.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
