Buried in the Sky

A good bookend to Jon Krakauer's [b:Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster 1898 Into Thin Air A Personal Account of the Mount Everest Disaster Jon Krakauer https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1631501298l/1898.SY75.jpg 1816662] in reinforcing the effects of high-altitude on climbers. All in all, I enjoyed the first half of the book better than the second because the authors focused on the perspective of the sherpas, as the subtitle says. The second half, when everyone was on the mountain, that the clients' stories seemed to take center stage and started to sound much like Krakauer's book.The first half filled in alot of gaps in my knowledge of the area and the peoples, and enlightened my understanding of why some people were doing what they did, in other stories.
