Shane Sturtz’s Reviews > Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster > Status Update

A book that will definitely make you ponder almost everything written about it.

So much guilt from Everest for those who did all they could to save others but it still wasn't enough.

A helicopter rescue for Beck and a Sherpa who were in such bad shape they couldn't continue the trek down.

First helicopter that far up in a longtime.

A truly unbelievable story.

Beck, who was one of the climbers who was believed to be frozen to death, made it back to camp and is still surfing somehow. Fischer nor as lucky and he could not survive the storm.

"What have we done to make this mountain so angry?"

After rocks creamed a Sherpa... twice.

Hutchison and sherpas went back up to try and find and take care of two climbers... they were alive and barely breathing but frozen to death at the same time.

Hutchison and the sherpas decided to let them rest and naturally die on the mountain.

Rob Hall, the leader of the crew, wasn't able to make it down the South Summit. He tried to rescues Doug Hansen to no avail... everyone was telling Hall to come down but he was physically unable.

A stretch down the mourning that usually only takes 30 minutes, took 10+ hours because of the weather!

What happened to Andy Harris?!

Crazy crazy wind and snow storm! Nobody could make it back to camp without problem.
