Book Reviews of High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places
Book Review: This book offers an outstanding sight into a mile high world
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading Jon Krakauer's book 'Into Thin Air', like millions I became fasinated with the world of mountaining, and more importantly, the people which derive their passion from climbing. High Exposure looks deeply into this unique and private world. It doesn't just explore the disasters, in particular Everest - May 1996, but more importantly, allows the reader to feel the intense drive of the challenge in climbing and the excitement of the locations as told by someone who has experienced seemingly every aspect of the sport and built an incredeble career around it. Reading Breashear's words made me feel like I was on those mountains with him and his teams. You can feel his thrill of the challanges both personally and professionaly, his sense of loss from the tragegies experienced at Everest and else where, and his soul searching to find the path he needs to follow into his future. That his book ended after only 300 pages was the only disapointment. I wanted to stay on this climb for another 300 pages. BRAVO!
