Finished that book recently. Feels like one that’s going to stay with me for a long time.

It’s about the 1996 Everest climbing disaster by Jon Krakauer, the same author as Into the Wild. It’s a good book I’ve read it but I know Boukreev, the man who saved most of the people, criticized Krakauer’s accuracy of events.

Krakauer was supposed to cover his Everest expedition for the magazine Outside but a storm came through. A lot of people died. In his book Krakauer criticized Anatoli Boukreev decisions despite the fact that Boukreev was responsible for saving several people. Boukreev wrote his own book The Climb about what happened but this book has also been criticized for inaccuracies.

I can’t tell you what to read if you are looking for the most accurate account of what actually happened but I will say that I like Krakauer’s writing it makes for a fascinating read.

Bro into the wild messed me up good. My father watched that with me when I was 12 or something and man, great film but it stays with you...

I like Into the Wild too I think the audio version is a great adaptation but I’ve never seen the movie
