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 \u003ci\u003eInto Thin Air\u003c\/i\u003e was made. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInformed by the experience of one who has truly been there, \u003ci\u003eThe Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e affords a rare glimpse into that place on earth where Heraclitus's maxim--\"Character is destiny\"--is proved time and again.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.8 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 29, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760731717920,"sku":"9781451694741","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d42f33bd72e80f990235431132eb5a17.webp?v=1780188286","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-mountain-my-time-on-everest-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
