Summary: 4 Stars
This book is about the IMAX team's filming during the same climbing season the famous 1996 disaster chronicled in "Into Thin Air" occurred. The book includes some information also discussed in "Into Thin Air," but also lots of interesting stories about the IMAX team's climb. It also has gorgeous pictures of the climb [although there appears not to have been a still camera at and near the very top, because presumably it wasn't working in such high altitude.] I could have done without the detailed descriptions of how an IMAX camera worked, but it's a small quibble, and probably necessary to the story. There is also a list in the back of statistics and names of people who have summitted, which is terrific for climbing afficianados like me. I would highly recommend this book to any fan of climbing and adventure books to add to their collection.
