I wonder if Krankauer used his journalist skills to spice up into thin air and that’s why he had such a dig at Boukreev ye can't trust a journalist can you by adding a bit a scandal he knew it would be a better seller. I will certainly be reading some of the climbing books you fellas have been recom...

Just finishing of reading the climb and really enjoyed this book as well so it is 10 out a 10 again for me :clap: . Mibee not as well written as into thin air but still a great read and I do agree with anatoli boukreev that as a guide his job was setting ropes and leading up front not molly cuddling...

A better book, too. It’s clear they had different views on what happened and also on boukreevs position as a guide...

I purchased a pair of Tiso alpine gaiters for 15 quid to try during the winter months as I don’t normally wear gaiters .Not to sweaty in cold conditions and are comfortable to wear and do the job for 15 quid ah reckon they are good value if like me you only use them in the winter.
