Book Review of Within Reach: My Everest Story

Within Reach: My Everest Story
Helpful Score: 2


He's a young kid, still a teenager when he wrote this book, but it's a really compelling read. He tried and failed to be the youngester person to climb Everest, and after reading it you might think his parents are crazy to let him attempt it. Still, a good adventure story with lots of climbing details. And he was there on the mountain in 1996 when the disaster of "Into Thin Air" happened.
