There is but one aim: the summit, the summit of Mount Everest.

What starts with a trouble-free trek into the Nepalese highlands explodes into a gripping tale of hardship, peril, and adversity. Pushed beyond their physical and mental limits, climbers drop by the wayside. Their primal instincts for survival battle with their dogged resolve to drag themselves to the top of the world. But the focus remains: battle to the summit, and if successful, somehow get back down again.

White plunges the listener into a land of subzero temperatures, asphyxiating air, and ever-increasing danger. Base Camp and the Himalayan world above it come to life in this riveting, true novel. The inner workings of an Everest expedition team and what it takes to climb the world's highest mountain are laid bare. Some return from the death zone injured. Some do not return at all.

Success and failure vie for supremacy throughout.

This personal, day-by-day chronicle takes the listener along every step of an Everest climb. A must for climbing enthusiasts, lovers of adventure, and extreme sport junkies; the closing chapters will leave you breathless.

My son and I recently returned from a trek to Nepal to Everest base camp and subsequent climbing of nearby Island Peak.
Mr White’s description of his experience closely tracked ours for the trek up to base camp. I was therefore confident of the authenticity of his recounting of the Everest climb and its travails.
I appreciated his unvarnished account and his musing about the ambiguity of his accomplishment.

Excellent honest portrayal of a difficult climb

I’ve never thought climbing Everest looked appealing. This book tells in depth how it feels to do it. Painful, scary, stressful, hunger, thirst, and the list goes on. A great book and very different from other climbing books.

Wow! Read this before you yearn for Everest.

Learned a lot from this book beyond any documentaries I've ever read or watched about climbing Mt. Everest. I couldn't put it down. The details were exceptional as was the narrator.

Very honest look at climbing Everest-which is not always romantic. Great detail. I have plans to listen to it again.

Thrills, spills and chills

If you’re fascinated by Everest, his process and descriptions put you there. You feel his frustration as he goes back and forth between camps.

So much detail

Great story and great must listen. Feels like you’re along with them on the journey to the top of the world minus all the training and hard work. Was sad when it was over!
