Acerca de esta escucha

Listen to The Climb, Anatoli Boukreev (portrayed by Ingvar Sigurðsson in the film Everest) and G. Weston DeWalt’s compelling account of those fateful events on Everest.

In May 1996, three expeditions attempted to climb Mount Everest on the Southeast Ridge route pioneered by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. Crowded conditions slowed their progress. Late in the day twenty-three men and women—including expedition leaders Scott Fischer and Rob Hall—were caught in a ferocious blizzard. Disoriented and out of oxygen, climbers struggled to find their way down the mountain as darkness approached. Alone and climbing blind, Anatoli Boukreev brought climbers back from the edge of certain death.

“Powerful … a breath of brisk, sometimes bitter clarity … Boukreev did the one thing that denies the void. He took action. He chose danger, and he saved lives.”—The New York Times Book Review

Krakauer's biased account covered up Pittman's antics and his own team's failures while abusively and inaccurately piling onto Boukreev.

A lot of detail and perspective not found in other accounts and the co author did a masterful and careful job.

Gripping Engaging Account of Disaster

Anatoly Bouchreev is the hero and an amazing storyteller. I think you are you understand more about climbing Everest, Than with any other book.

I've read a number of mountaineering books and this one is by far the best.

What an incredible story, hard to grasp in a way in our age of everything-all-the-time connected world. As non-fiction really well structured, rich in information plus personal insight based on deep experience and the epilogue was an unexpected bonus. An excellent package that really s is the audiobook format.
The performances were excellent too, the voices really seemed to fit the roles. It seemed to start a little slow-paced (much better later on) and the poor pronunciation of the Japanese climber's name was jarring next to the accuracy of the Russian names but v minor criticism of a compelling listen!

Superb insight and detail well delivered

ive read the other books about that most fateful day on Everest, and while I enjoyed The Krakhour book, Into Thin Air, more, I did find listening to this other point of view of the same tragedy well worth it.

Not only eye opening, but finished with the mysticism only the mountains and their adventurers could provide.

Wow

A must read as an additional perspective to the tragedy on Everest as told in "Into Thin Air." I enjoy Krakauer's books, but his engaging style comes at the price of a nuanced perspective on complex events. "The Climb" is clearly a defense of Boukreev. I found his defense to be well worth listening to.

Excellent mountaineering book

If you read or listened to "Into Thin Air" you must listen to this. This is another well told side of the 1996 Everest coin. Here the author refutes Krakauer's criticism's of him in not doing enough to save people's lives during the 1996 Everest disaster. And it makes you really wonder why Krakauer didn't do more to investigate his bold claims defaming Anatoli. Written simply and honestly but in a thrilling way - this is an adventure classic for generations to come.

Great story

A clapback at into thin air. Unfortunately the most detailed stories would need to come from those no less Niger with us.
Low visibility, deafening wind and maybe summering climbers who weren’t really ready exacerbated poor conditions of the May 96 climb. The owners of 2 mountain guide groups create competition among themselves, sherpas and climbers to bring a deadly outcome.

This is the real story behind the 1996 Everest disaster told by mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev.
Honest and to the point, this book did not disappoint like Krakauer's book "Into thin air".
Anatoli was not sponsored by any big "Media" or other top named brand sponsor. In writing this book he had nothing to lose. He describes the competition and egos between two Expedition team leaders that ended in the deaths of both owners Scott Fisher and Rob Hall. Well written and to the point. If you like EVEREST STORIES.....this book is a page turner.

Excellent book. Great narration.

Incredible account of the disaster on Everest. I have read pretty much everything including into thin air. Please listen all the way to the end… The very end left me in tears.

Best account I’ve read
