(  ) dougcornelius | Nov 12, 2009 |  Adventure story ( ) oldman | Sep 2, 2009 | The official account of man's first climb over 8000 metres in 1950, Herzog's version has since been questioned by his fellow climbers. If you are a student of Mountaineering history, then you must read this book. (  ) PAFCWoody | Jan 25, 2009 | A well told story of Herzog's epic ascent of Annapurna (and his even more epic descent). ( ) ianw | Sep 15, 2008 | Utterly riveted, I stayed up until the wee hours reading this when I was about 15 years old. It sparked a lifelong interest in mountaineering books.
