I really enjoyed this climb up Mt Everest and learned so much! Reading the book about the 1996 fatal expeditions of skilled guides, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, made the trek so real and unimaginable. Even climbing to Base Camp requires physical strength and preparation. Thousands have summited Everest - hundreds have died and their bodies still remain on the mountain.
