  “Probably would not have picked this up if Conrad's parents were not personal friends. Most interesting to those who are climbers, or have a particular interest in Mallory and Mt. Everest. ”

  “Conrad Anker signed my copy as my wife met in him in Seattle. I had met Conrad at a previous mountaineering society event. Having been to Everest, I have always enjoyed well written histories of Mt. Everest and mountaineering. A great read. Mallory, for the uninitiated, was an early Mt. Everest explorer and during the 1920's attempted to climb (without oxygen or down parkas or what I call even, decent boots) and was seen near the summit, and then disappeared. Conrad and his team located Mallory's remains almost 80 years later and has written a great narrative about how Mallory and his journey handled the Mountain.”
