I recommend Krakauer’s book. Don’t skip the introduction.

Krakauer’s an excellent writer, so I'm sure the book is compelling.

I have difficulty imagining how he reaches any conclusion other than the guy was a complete bonehead.

Romantic, wistful, original, colorful, idealistic, whatever, but still a bonehead at the root.

Just added that book to my Amazon queue, thanks! Have you read, “Under the Banner” by him? Great book. :o)
