Skreslet, Laurie
1 Reviews

4-6
Skreslet, who in 1982 became the first Canadian to reach the summit of Mt. Everest, recounts his experiences preparing for, and then undertaking, the dangerous climb. Though inherently fascinating, the narrative is so blandly related that even dramatic events--such as the deaths of four fellow climbers--lose their emotional impact. Average-quality color photographs and sidebars give the book a slightly crowded appearance. Glos.
