To the top of Everest

by and

The author, who became the 131st person to reach the peak of Mount Everest in 1982, recounts his experience, and explains how his achievement came with a heavy price as he and his expedition faced hidden crevasses, blinding snowstorms, horrible altitude sickness, and more. Skreslet shares details of the climb, which is illustrated with full-color photos.
