In 1996, Beck Weathers and a climbing team pushed toward the summit of Mount Everest. Then a storm exploded on the mountain, ripping the team to shreds, forcing brave men to scratch and crawl for their lives. Rescuers who reached Weathers saw that he was dying and left him. Twelve hours later, the inexplicable occurred. Weathers appeared, blinded, gloveless, and caked with ice - walking down the mountain.
In this powerful memoir, now featuring a new preface, Weathers describes not only his escape from hypothermia and the murderous storm that killed eight climbers but the journey of his life. This is the story of a man's route to a dangerous sport and a fateful expedition, as well as the road of recovery he has traveled since; of survival in the face of certain death, the reclaiming of a family and a life; and of the most extraordinary adventure of all: finding the courage to say yes when life offers us a second chance.

Though it’s less about Everest, it’s a decent examination, from a first person perspective, of the drive and obsession that gets some people to the point of death on a high mountain. Beck’s life was in shambles while he sought the peak. Beck’s survival on Everest, while miraculous and celebrated, masked a neglected family life in need of rehabilitation almost as much as his physical wounds.
I think understanding this story may require some age and experience. I see all the reviews about how the story isn’t about Everest, and I think “yes it is, it’s just that Everest is only the symbol of unhealthy obsession that was only one stop on Beck’s journey home.”
Overall it was worth the time spent and a good companion read to Into Thin Air.
Maybe you have to be older to appreciate it.
