Summary of Anatoli Boukreev & G. Weston DeWalt's The Climb

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 1996, the Sherpa ethnic group in Nepal were concerned about a star that appeared in the night sky over the Himalaya. It was the beginning of the spring season on Mount Everest, and Sherpa climbers had died in the past due to the mountain’s harsh environment.

#2 As Todd waited for the snows to melt in the north, Kami Noru Sherpa and the Sherpas from Pangboche trekked to the Everest Base Camp, where they would join the expeditions that had hired them. They would help establish camps, carry loads up the mountain, and cook for and serve the climbers.

#3 In the early 1980s, the number of climbers and expedition support personnel who would gather in the Everest Base Camp during the spring season could have fit into one Paris metro car. In 1996, more than four hundred people would eventually come up the trail and pitch their tents.

#4 In May 1995, Rob Hall, the head of the Adventure Consultants Guided Expedition, turned all of his clients back from their bid to the summit as deep snows at higher elevations had slowed their progress. In 1996, Hall was back, ready to go again, determined to get back into the win column.
