I finished the book and boy is it COMPELLING!!! I encourage all to read it. While the beauty of Everest is not in question, the motives of many of the Sherpa, and climbing teams is.

My opinion is when you get that high up in the world, and your life depends on getting up and down safely, it's every man/woman for himself/herself.

I'm just glad my friends Michael and Carolyn got back safe and in one peace.
