I read that book, it’s an excellent read. At the end there’s a part about how some Nepalese see all the climbing as a disgrace, a defilement of the mountain. They’d prefer no one, of any color, climb it.
It’s a terrifying tale that will stay with you long after you read it. The movie was good too.

Agree. The movie adaptation is very close to the events of the book.
I had no idea prior to reading the book how the climbers keep going back and forth between the base camps as they slowly acclimate their bodies to ever thinner atmosphere. It sounds like a combination of being both boring and terrifying on top of excruciating.
