While the living struggle to explain what happened. And why. A survivor of the mountain's worst disaster examines the business of Mount Everest and the steep price of ambition. By Jon Krakauer Straddling the top of the world, one foot in Tibet and the other in Nepal, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask, hunched a shoulder against the wind, and stared absently at the vast sweep of earth below. I understood on some dim, detached level that it was a spectacular sight. I'd been fantasizing about this moment, and the release of emotion that would accompany it, for many months. But now that I was finally here, standing on the summit of Mount Everest, I just couldn't summon the energy to care. It was the afternoon of May 10. I hadn't slept in 57 hours. The only food I'd been able to force down over the preceding three days was a bowl of Ramen soup and a handful of peanut M&M;'s. Weeks of violent coughing had left me with two separated ribs, making it excruciatingly painful to breathe. Twenty-nine thousand twenty-eight feet up in the troposphere, there was so little oxygen reaching my brain that my mental capacity was that of a slow child.

Note how many stars it was given. As for Boukreev's decision not to use oxygen and the descent ahead of the clients, I frankly can not make up my mind as there are too many variables. Both obviously paid for their oversights with their lives. He was unfairly and unjustly criticized by other authors seeking to find a villian that day. As well as Lene Gammelgaard who was in the Mountain Madness expidition with Anatoli also wrote a book. View 1 comment. This specific ISBN edition is currently not available.

  • Expedition Everest 2004 & 2005
    A L G O N Q U I N C O L L E G E Small World Big Picture Expedition Everest 2004 & 2005 “A Season on Everest” Articles Published in the Ottawa Citizen 21st March 2004 – 29th June 2004 8th March 2005 – 31st May 2005 Back into thin air: Ben Webster is back on Mount Everest, determined to get his Canadian team to the top By Ron Corbett Sunday, March 21, 2004 Page: C5 (Weekly Section) The last time Ben Webster stood on the summit of Mount Everest, the new millennium had just begun. He stepped onto the roof of the world with Nazir Sabir, a climber from Pakistan, and stared at the land far below. The date was May 17, 2000. Somewhere beneath him, in a camp he could not see, were the other members of the Canadian Everest Expedition, three climbers from Quebec who would not reach the summit of the world's tallest mountain. As Webster stood briefly on the peak -- for no one stays long on that icy pinnacle -- stories were already circulating he had left the other climbers behind, so driven was he to become the first Canadian of the new millennium to reach the top of Everest. He would learn of the stories later, and they would sting. Accusation followed nasty accusation, the worst perhaps being that the other climbers had quit on him, so totalitarian had they found his leadership. When Webster descended from the mountain, he walked into a firestorm of negative publicity that bothers him to this day. At times in the ensuing four Julie Oliver, The Citizen's Weekly Shaunna Burke, a U of O doctoral student, Andrew Lock, an Australian, years he would shrug, and say simply he was the and Hector Ponce de Leon, of Mexico, will attempt a team assault on strongest of the four climbers, the only one able to Everest in May, led by Ottawa climber Ben Webster.

  • British Everest Expedition SW Face 1975 Peter Boardman and Ronnie Richards
    British Everest expedition SW face 1975 Peter Boardman and Ronnie Richards It was a strange sensation to be lying prostrate with heat at nearly 6700 m, rain apparently floating down through the sultry glaring mist outside. Few people had been in the Cwm by the beginning of September and the old hands ruefully remembered November conditions in 1972, hence the gleeful graffiti on the boudoir walls of our lone Camp 2 superbox, exhorting: 'Climb Everest in September, be at home by October'. Express trains rumbled and roared incessantly from Lhotse above, the W Ridge left and uptse below; all movement on the mountain was out of the question, so we could indulge in continuous brews and lethargic inactivity. One's mind drifted back over the previous few days, traversing terrain made familiar, even legendary in the last 20 years. Base Camp, established on 22 August in its field of rubble, and a familiarisation with successive sections of the Ice-Fall on the following days, as the route through to a site for Camp 1 was prospected and made safe for subsequent traffic. Ice-Fall Sirdar Phurkipa, chief road mender and survivor of countless journeys up the Ice­ Fall, had shown his approval, white tooth flashing enthusiastically at the unusually benign conditions of the Ice-Fall this time of year. Tottering horrors apparently absent, the main areas of concern were the 'Egg-Shell', a short, flattish area surrounded by huge holes and crevasses, seemingly liable to sudden collapse, and a short distance above, 'Death Valley', hot and a possible channel for big avalanches peeling off the flank of the W Ridge.

  • Annapurna South Face Christian Bonington 19
    3 Allllapllma SOlllhface. Thi and next five photos: Annapurna outh face Expedition Annapurna South face Christian Bonington In many ways the outh face of Annapurna was super Alpine-presenting both the problems and atmosphere I had known in 1966 during the ascent of the Eiger Direct. On Annapurna our Kleine cheidegg was Base Camp, situated on a grassy meadow beside the lateral moraine of the outh Anna­ purna glacier, with the South face a mere three miles away framed by a ridge of Annapurna South on one side and the moraine on the other. All we needed were the trippers' telescopes and a better crop of tourists to be in bu iness; but we did have a steady stream of visitors: stray brigadiers, hippies, climbers, earnest German tourists, Peace Corps people, and so on. The trickle, that might well become a flood in years to come. And then the way we tackled the South face; once again very similar to the methods used on the winter ascent of the Eiger Direct. A continuous line of fixed ropes, climbers dashing back to base for a rest; a Base Camp that was in a different world from the face, with its T.' . team, a few girl visitors who had stayed; radio communications with the outside world. It emphasi es our contracting world; the fact that we were not exploring in any sense of the word-the Sanctuary which guards the South face is known. \"Ale did not even need a map to find our way into it; some of our Sherpas knew the way well because it is part of one of their conducted treks for tourists.
