What a well-written, crisp account of one man’s crazy attempt to conquer Mt. Everest all by his lonesome. 3.5 stars.

Pretty wild character but the telling of the story was tedious. Was a struggle to get through the book, and then the end was very good! I think this would have been better as a long article.

One slightly mad man, trying to climb Everest on his own. Full of larger than life colonial era characters, very enjoyable.

Clear and concise if a bit drawn out. Good elaboration on viability and quality of source materials.
