THE MOUNTAIN
VIESTURS, ED
The world’s most famous mountain, Everest remains for serious high-altitude climbers an ultimate goal.
Ed Viesturs has gone on eleven expeditions to Everest, reaching the summit seven times. He’s spent
more than two years of his life on the mountain. No climber today is better poised to survey Everest’s
various ascents—both personal and historic. In The Mountain, Viesturs delivers just that: riveting you-arethere
accounts of his own climbs as well as vivid narratives of some of the more famous and infamous
climbs throughout the last century, when the honor of nations often hung in the balance, depending on
which climbers summited first. In addition to his own experiences, Viesturs sheds light on the fate of
Mallory and Irvine, whose 1924 disappearance just 800 feet from the top remains one of mountaineering’s
greatest mysteries, and on the multiply tragic last days of Rob Hall and Scott Fischer in 1996, the stuff of
which Into Thin Air was made. Informed by the experience of one who has truly been there, The Mountain
affords a rare glimpse into that place on earth where Heraclitus’s maxim—character is destiny—is proved
time and again. Complete with gorgeous photos of Everest, many of which were taken by Viesturs
himself, and shots taken on some of the legendary historic climbs, The Mountain is an immensely
appealing book for active and armchair climber alike.
