Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Powerful...a breath of brisk, sometimes bitter clarity...Boukreev did the one thing that denies the void. He took action. He chose danger, and he saved lives." --The New York Times Book Review

"Boukreev heroically rescued several climbers from certain death...[The Climb] gives an excellent account of the May 1996 disaster." --Chicago Tribune

"Compelling...[The Climb] has a ring of authenticity that challenges the slickly written Into Thin Air." --Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Provocative...compelling reading, both as an adventure and a spiritual reckoning." --The New Mexican

"Boukreev acted with extraordinary heroism...[In The Climb] first-person anecdotes, plus excerpts from taped base-camp interviews, are skillfully fleshed out by coauthor G. Weston DeWalt." --Rock & Ice Magazine

"The Boukreev that emerges from this book is a thoughtful, articulate, even poetic man whose philosophy of life and mountaineering was uniquely his own." --Ed Viesters, in The Will to Climb
