Histoire
Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed journalist and author of the best seller Into the Wild. Jon Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people - including himself - to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Krakauer's eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.

Histoire
For 18 years, Ed Viesturs pursued climbing's holy grail: to stand atop the world's 14 8,000-meter peaks, without the aid of bottled oxygen. But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go.

Histoire
As a park ranger with the National Park Service's law enforcement team, Andrea Lankford led search and rescue missions in some of the most beautiful (and dangerous) landscapes across America, from Yosemite to the Grand Canyon. But though she had the support of the agency, Andrea grew frustrated with the service's bureaucratic idiosyncrasies, and left the force after twelve years. Two decades later, however, she stumbles across a mystery that pulls her right back where she left off: three young men have vanished from the Pacific Crest Trail.

Description
In 1996, Beck Weathers and a climbing team pushed toward the summit of Mount Everest. Then a storm exploded on the mountain, ripping the team to shreds, forcing brave men to scratch and crawl for their lives. Rescuers who reached Weathers saw that he was dying and left him. Twelve hours later, the inexplicable occurred. Weathers appeared, blinded, gloveless, and caked with ice - walking down the mountain.
In this powerful memoir, now featuring a new preface, Weathers describes not only his escape from hypothermia and the murderous storm that killed eight climbers but the journey of his life. This is the story of a man's route to a dangerous sport and a fateful expedition, as well as the road of recovery he has traveled since; of survival in the face of certain death, the reclaiming of a family and a life; and of the most extraordinary adventure of all: finding the courage to say yes when life offers us a second chance.

A different take on Everest
Less about the technicalities of the climb and the challenges to summit (although there is a fair bit in there to keep the audience happy), but more about the ripple effect the tragedy on Mount Everest had in Beck Weathers' life and for his family. Heartfelt and honest, I can feel the authenticity of the entire family's experience.

Gripping
Wow, what a story. Left for dead, miraculously living, losing much of his face and his hands, on top of his already compromised vision, Beck finds reasons to live and reinvents himself. A self acclaimed former thrill seeker and emotionally distant man goes within and finds his heart. Powerful stuff.

More autobiography than anything
if you are interested in the personality of someone who sought to climb the 7 summits and died (mostly) on Everest you might enjoy this book. part 1 is about what happened to Weathers on Everest in 1995. Stop here if you're interested in his version of events.
Parts 2 & 3 are essentially autobiographies of Weathers and his wife. Part 4 is about Weathers climbing the 7 summits prior to attempting Everest. (Spoiler: His 1st climb was Denali where he turnedback before the summit. Then he summitted Kilimanjaro, Mt. Elbrus, Aconcagua, Vinson Mountains, and Carstenz Pyramid before attempting Everest.) Part 5 includes some information about his year long recovery and amputations.
Mostly, Left for Dead is the story of a self-centred man who never considered the impact of his decisions on anyone else, especially his family. it took a near death experience for him to change.

Not what I expected/Lame and boring
This story had so much potential. It lacked emotion and it fell flat. Even the Narrator that I usually enjoy sounded bored.
