Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer

The wind was slightly blowing, and the air was cold and thin, perfect conditions for climbing Everest. As the expedition slowly ascended up the lonely mountain, they realized that for some of them their life long dreams were about to be reached. The climbers in these two expeditions had been training for this moment for years, and some of them had even reached the summit before. But deep down they knew that not everyone that reaches the
Summit makes it back down to base camp at the bottom of the mountain.

Jon Krakauer was climbing with Rob Hall's team along with many other climbers. Once at base camp, he and the others on his team ascend Mt Everest from Base Camp to Camp 4 while the weather worsens with every step. At that point they knew that not all of them would make it down alive.

Into thin Air is the true adventurous memoir of two expeditions of men and women trying to reach that one common goal of touching the summit and making it back down. Written by Jon Krakauer, you are sure to feel as though you can feel those people’s emotions, and connect with the characters. You are sure to cry and when you finish and want to give it a standing ovation as though you watched in a theater. Follow the journey as Jon Krakauer and his team ventures up the dangerous slopes of Mt. Everest … up into thin air.
