When Jon Krakauer Reached The Summit Of Mt. Everest In The Early Afternoon Of May 10, 1996, He Hadnt Slept In Fiftyseven Hours And Was Reeling From The Brainaltering Effects Of Oxygen Depletion. As He Turned To Begin His Long, Dangerous Descent From 29,028 Feet, Twenty Other Climbers Were Still Pushing Doggedly Toward The Top. No One Had Noticed That The Sky Had Begun To Fill With Clouds. Six Hours Later And 3,000 Feet Lower, In 70Knot Winds And Blinding Snow, Krakauer Collapsed In His Tent, Freezing, Hallucinating From Exhaustion And Hypoxia, But Safe. The Following Morning He Learned That Six Of His Fellow Climbers Hadnt Made It Back To Their Camp And Were In A Desperate Struggle For Their Lives. When The Storm Finally Passed, Five Of Them Would Be Dead, And The Sixth So Horribly Frostbitten That His Right Hand Would Have To Be Amputated.Into Thin Air Is The Definitive Account Of The Deadliest Season In The History Of Everest.
