I have read many books about Everest. I don't know why? I have no desire to climb it. Its just that I love reading about other peoples courage in facing massive challenges. So many climbers have died trying to reach the top....as in life I suppose. But now...the challenge is even more dangerous. The last obstacle...the Hillary step, has collapsed. 39 feet of solid rock and ice....gone. New routes will have to be found...the sherpas taking on the dangers of finding a new climbable path. Is it worth it ? To some yes. Man...and woman have always strived to break records or be the first. That's what adventure is all about.
