Reviews

"Coffey begins where Jon Krakauer left off. His characters strive, suffer and vanish 'into thin air.' This compelling book offers voices from the other side of the mountaineering story - those left behind." --Los Angeles Times "...an important book...Coffey is an accomplished author with the specific expertise to make this book the great read that it is." --Gripped Magazine "This book is a page-turner: Coffey's writing style is direct and ferociously honest, while her use of emotionally gripping anecdotes infuses an engaging, novelistic feel...A gripping must-read." --American Alpine Journal
