BLAST FROM THE PAST ... re-reading FOUR AGAINST EVEREST

I read this in college over 40 years ago and it was one of the books that got me to give mountaineering a shot. Well written, gripping, frank, and these guys were either naive as hell or had amazing chutzpah and massive cojones. The sport -and the world- has changed and this story will not get repeated anytime soon.

Pick up a used copy for a buck and be prepared to be captivated.
