Book Reviews of The Crystal Horizon: Everest-The First Solo Ascent
Book Review: Excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book. I have not read another book about mountain
climbing with such an interest. Messner is very good at describing his emotions. Translation is not the best one. I read this book in both Russian and English translations. I liked Russian translation a lot more.

A vivid account of the expedition, "The Crystal Horizon" also reflects on how he explored his innermost thoughts while facing the most extreme physical challenge he had ever encountered. 217 photos. 36-page color photo insert .General Books
