Summary of Into Thin Air - . IRB Media
Overview
Into Thin Air was published in 1997 by journalist and outdoorsman Jon Krakauer. The book focuses on the events surrounding the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, of which the author was a survivor.
In 1996, New Zealander mountaineering expert Robert Hall led a commercial expedition to climb the mountain. Krakauer joined this expedition while on assignment for Outside magazine. That same climbing season, American, Norwegian, South African, and Taiwanese expeditions also attempted to climb Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak.
On May 10, 1996, a rogue storm hit Mount Everest as the members of several climbing expeditions descended from the summit. By the end of May 11, eight people were dead. It was the deadliest single incident in the mountain’s history up to that time.
Since the determination of the mountain’s altitude in 1852, Mount Everest has been a source of fascination for mountaineers all over the world. Those who have attempted to climb the mountain range from semi-sane quixotic adventurers to the thousands of Sherpas who have acted as guides and porters to foreign expeditions.
The large number of inexperienced climbers on Mount Everest in the 1996 season contributed to bottlenecks. Regulations may thus be needed to limit the number of climbers on the mountain. Other reforms could also improve
