Book of the Month: Into Thin Air

This bestselling book is a page turner – you won’t want to set it down!

When he made the decision to climb Everest in 1996, Jon Krakauer was a journalist for Outside magazine (a Hiking Lady favorite!). Little did he expect that 1996 would result in the most tragic year on Everest with 15 deaths.

In what has now become a controversial story in the climbing community, Krakauer provides his perspective on what happened during the climb in Into Thin Air. David Breashears provides color in his book High Exposure, and there are several others including Anatoli Boukreev’s The Climb.
