An absolutely fascinating book about deadly climbing seasons on Everest is Into Thin Air written by Jon Krakauer. A MUST read if you like this kinda stuff

Yes a good read, but now you need to read "The Climb" Anatoli Boukreev's version of the whole nightmare then, "High Exposure" David Breashears, and finally "No Shortcuts To The Top" Ed Viesturs.

The 2006 season was just as deadly, as described by Nick Heil in the "Dark Summit"

I just did an over nite on Mount Adams, in the presidential range NH, I wore "The Hulk"
