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. This new edition includes a transcript of
the Mountain Madness expedition debriefing recorded five days after
the tragedy, as well as G. Weston DeWalt's response to "Into Thin
Air "author Jon Krakauer.
