A necessary Addition
This book provides a necessary addition to the recorded events of the tragic 1996 Everest expedition. It is also a suitable insight into the personality of the very devoted, caring and dedicated mountaineer, Anatoli Boukreev.

In Awe
I was in awe of these high mountain climbers not realizing just what enormous effort it takes to put together a climb. I really enjoyed learning about the different roles sherpas, guides and climbers have not only in putting an expedition together but what they were responsible for during the climb.
Anatoli Boukreev was an extraordinary man who was exemplary in his work as an agent, a climber and as a rescue/recovery man. I highly recommend this book far above In Thin Ice which was written by an egotistical person with less attention to truth and less care of the climbers under his care.

A detailed and incredible recount of what happened on Everest in 1996
I have listened too, read, and watched a lot of material about the 1996 tragedy and I think this book brings all the pieces together to understand what really happened. Anatoli is my person hero for his strength and ability to keep on pushing forward no matter what. He also is a realistic who knows when you are pushing it too far. An excellent book - highly recommended

A must read companion to Into Thin Air
Into Thin Air was one of the most gripping and engrossing survival books I've ever read. The Climb helped fill the gaps and bring the incident from a different perspective. It too was captivating and heartbreaking. Anatoli was a real hero and it's such a shame he was lost the following year on Annapurna.

Also a good read
Not nearly as good as Jon Krakauer's book (Into thin air), but another interesting perspective of that fateful expidition. I didn't at all remember Krakauer's book blaming Boukreev (which apparently he did) but this is a good and much deserved response from someone who was probably more of a hero (saving other companies clients!) than anything else.

Falls short
I’ve read a lot of books detailing human survival stories, several about climbing, but this one falls far short. Long tedious recitation of word for word conversations, many of which would have better been paraphrased.
