In national bestseller The Mountain, world-renowned climber and bestselling author Ed Viesturs and cowriter David Roberts paint a vivid portrait of obsession, dedication, and human achievement in a true love letter to the world’s highest peak.In The Mountain, veteran world-class climber and bestselling author Ed Viesturs—the only American to have climbed all fourteen of the world’s 8,000-meter peaks—trains his sights on Mount Everest in richly detailed accounts of expeditions that are by turns personal, harrowing, deadly, and inspiring. The highest mountain on earth, Everest remains the ultimate goal for serious high-altitude climbers. Viesturs has gone on eleven expeditions to Everest, spending more than two years of his life on the mountain and reaching the summit seven times. No climber today is better poised to survey Everest’s various ascents—both personal and historic. Viesturs sheds light on the fate of Mallory and Irvine, whose 1924 disappearance just 800 feet from the summit remains one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries, as well as the multiply tragic last days of Rob Hall and Scott Fischer in 1996, the stuff of which Into Thin Air was made. Informed by the experience of one who has truly been there, The Mountain affords a rare glimpse into that place on earth where Heraclitus’s maxim—“Character is destiny”—is proved time and again.

Sort of a strange book that isn't quite what it claims to be. I expected more of a personal account of Viesturs's Everest climbs. Instead, about two-thirds of the book is simply a rehash of previous expeditions, from the British attempts in the 20s up to the present day. Trouble is, most of this stuff is readily available in much more detail elsewhere. If you've read Unsworth's Everest, you've already trudged over most of this ground, with the exception of a couple of the later expeditions, and there are many other fine books covering the individual expeditions. What you have here is a breezy, once-over-lightly overview of the history of Everest that's only slightly enhanced by Viestur's perspective. The remaining third of the book that does deal with his own climbs is somewhat disappointing too, as he's often reduced to saying (in effect): "I won't go into this in any detail because I've already covered it another book." One wonders exactly why this book was written. It smacks of a publisher's idea for recycling old material. On the positive side, it's a pleasant enough read, and if you haven't read much about the history of Everest, this would probably be a fine introduction.
