Into Thin Air is a very exciting and harrowing. Are you referring to Sergei Boukrev (sp?), who claims he was misrepresented in Krakaur's account.

I recently finished reading Touching The Void. Amazing story!

I haven’t read Into Thin Air, but I have read several detailed discussions re: the other guide’s supposed misrepresentation. None of his disputed points changes one scintilla of the way Thin Air depicts him. He did the job of a climber, while Rob did the job of a guide.
