Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z But at some point in my midtwenties I abandoned my boyhood fantasy of climbing Everest. Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z At first I pretended that I’d be going as a journalist more than a climber—that I’d accepted the assignment because the commercialization of Everest was an interesting subject and the money was pretty good.

Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z He’d nevertheless arrived intact at the foot of Everest in early April with a film crew in tow, and immediately began making acclimatization trips up the lower mountain.

Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z And a nogas regulation would have the corollary benefit of automatically reducing trash and crowding because considerably fewer people would attempt Everest if they knew supplemental oxygen was not an option.

Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z He later conceded that he knew all along Denman’s plans were foolhardy, but Tenzing, too, was powerless to resist the pull of Everest: Nothing made sense about it. Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z Not surprisingly, accounts of the 1963 epic on Everest resonated loud and long in my preadolescent imagination. Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z By April 14 he was at the foot of Everest. Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z Everest itself, sitting back from the front ones, didn’t even appear highest, but it didn’t matter.

Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z Truth be told, I’d never been higher than 17,200 feet—not even as high as Everest Base Camp. Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z Twenty stone monuments stood in a somber row along the crest of the glacier’s terminal moraine, overlooking the mist-filled valley: memorials to climbers who had died on Everest, most of them Sherpa. Into Thin Air 1996-08-01T00:00:00Z This forms the nub of a dilemma that every Everest climber eventually comes up against: in order to succeed you must be exceedingly driven, but if you’re too driven you’re likely to die.
