Interesting, but certainly could've benefited from Braham writing during or immediately after his climbs. Since he wrote it 30 years after the last adventure in the book, it suffers from a lack of details that were of course impossible to recall at such a later date.
It could've probably been 2-300 pages long if he had written a diary at the time, but obviously he just figured he would remember everything forever, as we all do.
