Was it fate that put Krakauer—at once a crack climber, a seasoned journalist, and a sensitive conscience—on the world's highest mountain during that notorious 1996 season? Unpredictable weather, human folly, and a mind-set committed to client satisfaction killed 12 people on Everest that year, while the whole world watched. Krakauer showed us what it really meant: the traffic jams on the summit ridge; guides bending their own rules to get exhausted clients to the top. He showed us the consequences of disrespect for this formidable goddess, Chomolungma, as the Sherpas call her. And Krakauer is as hard on himself as he is on the rest. Whereas Annapurna is the record of a triumph, Into Thin Air is the postmortem of a debacle—less inspiring, but no less powerful. As the most widely read mountaineering work in recent history, it has profoundly shaped our idea of extreme adventure and who and what it is for.
作者是专业人士,一位户外活动撰稿人、记者,态度比较实在。 实在的意思就是,作者既不美化也不贬斥,只是如实报道一次完整的包含各种要素的珠峰商业登山活动,其中的细节耐人咂摸:珠峰的攀登史、登顶的组织和登顶过程、大规模山难的发生、高山上的特殊“道德准则”、下山后...
评分 评分我要说自己是一口气读完这本书应该不算过分,一是因为书写得实在是太精彩了,尤其是对一个有过攀登雪山经历的读者来说。二是在读这本书的时候,我正在陪父亲进京看病,火车上宾馆里,等待的过程是漫长和无聊的,好在有这本书,让我有了大把大把的时间对着它,用心地阅读,深刻...
评分In the early May of 1996, a few group of professional and amateur mountaineers encountered a freak storm in the dead zone of Mount Everest during their summit attempt, 12 people perished under the extreme condition. That was the worst disaster the world has...
plan to read this after into the wild. good non-fictions
评分登山从来就是一项极其危险的运动,就算是商业登山,有向导制定好路线,夏尔巴人运送装备和氧气,真正面对危险的时候仍然不堪一击,而在高海拔之上,所有微小的错误以及人性中的微小弱点都会被无限放大,而最难的是区分什么时候应该坚持,而不是因固执而丧命;什么时候应该放弃,而不是因为胆怯而无法突破,如作者所言这的确也是登山这项运动无限的魅力。整本书而言,Krakauer写的非常好,唯一不足的是对于anatonli的苛责,也是引起争议的一个主要原因。

评分为什么登山是最伟大的运动?因为他们面对的不仅是生命危险,更有拷问人性的艰难抉择。
