Book Reviews of Annapurna
Book Review: Worthwhile
Summary: 4 Stars
The work chronicles the first ascent of an 8000m+ peak. While it plods at times, and the ascent itself is unremarkable (in terms of the drama it generates in the book), the descent is harrowing. I enjoyed Herzog's ongoing reflections on why climbers climb.
