Any time someone makes a mistake it's always hypoxia of course, and any time they do something positive full credit. The tone is so weird throughout the entire book...reads like a mix of a defense statement in a civil suit and like a great grandpa's recollection of his role in some war

Mostly Jon Krakauer insufferably bragging about his 'climbing skills' in a way that is thinly vailed as self-effacing. Like buddy we literally don't care about you and how you climbed more quickly than a group of wealthy 60 year-old women. Just tell us the actual story of what happened
