Book Description Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Book is clean, tight and unmarked-DJ has one small closed tear-" In the tradition of Jon Krakauers Into Thin Air, Nick Heil recounts the harrowing story of the deadly and controversial 2006 climbing season on Everest. In early May 2006, a young British climber named David Sharp lay dying near the top of Mount Everest while forty other climbers walked past him on their way to the summit. A week later, Lincoln Hall, a seasoned Australian climber, was left for dead near the same spot. Halls death was reported around the world, but the next day he was found alive after spending the night on the upper mountain with no food and no shelter. If David Sharps death was shocking, it was not singular: despite unusually good weather, ten others died attempting to reach the summit that year. In this meticulous inquiry into what went wrong, Nick Heil tells the full story of the deadliest year on Everest since the infamous season of 1996. He introduces Russell Brice, the outfitter who has done more than anyone to provide access to the summit via the mountains north sideand who some believe was partially responsible for Sharps death. As more climbers attempt the summit each year, Heil shows how increasingly risky expeditions and unscrupulous outfitters threaten to turn Everest into a deadly circus. Written by an experienced climber and outdoor writer, Dark Summit is both a riveting account of a notorious climbing season and a troubling investigation into whether the pursuit of the ultimate mountaineering prize has spiraled out of control. About the Author: Nick Heil first wrote about the 2006 climbing season for Outside, where he worked as a senior editor from 1999 to 2006. Now a freelance journalist, his work has also appeared in Mens Journal, Skiing, and other publications. Based in Santa Fe, he has worked as a climbing and skiing instructor, and has traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and North America.". Seller Inventory # 016367
