The Other Side of Everest: Climbing the North Face Through the Killer Storm Matt Dickinson

YA-Dickinson, who was hired by a high-adventure company to produce a movie about an ascent of Everest by a major British film star, is not a professional high-altitude climber. However, he is a fine writer with a style somewhere between the tight and intense passages of Jon Krakauer"s Into Thin Air (Villard) and the ponderous, technical treatment in Anatoli Boukreev"s much longer The Climb (St. Martin"s, both 1997). He writes of actually making it to the summit up the North Face with a simplicity and wonder lacking in Everest accounts written by those who spend their lives climbing the world"s highest peaks. As a filmmaker, he gives the book visual power. This title will hold readers in its icy grip from beginning to end.
