The Climb (book)
novel by Anatoli Boukreev and G. Western DeWalt
The Climb (), republished as The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest, is an account by Russian-Kazakhstani mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev of the Everest Disaster, during which eight climbers died on the mountain.[1] The co-author, G.
Weston DeWalt—who was not part of the expedition—provides accounts from other climbers and ties together the narrative of Boukreev's logbook.
Background
The book is also partially a response to Jon Krakauer's account of the same Everest climb in his book Into Thin Air (), which appeared to criticize some of Boukreev's actions during the climb.[2]
After The Climb was published, DeWalt leveled many public criticisms at Krakauer concerning the accuracy of each man's account of what happened on the mountain during the climbs.
Krakauer refutes the allegations and provides additional details in the postscript to the edition of Into Thin Air.[2]
