"May 10, 1996 -
Sixteen-year-old Mark Pfetzer huddles in his tent at 26,000 ft., waiting for his turn to attempt Everest's summit.
As a fierce storm descends on the camp, a frightening realization dawns on Mark and his colleagues: many of the climbers who summitted that afternoon have not yet returned.
By morning, the storm has claimed eight lives - and Mark's long-dreamed-of summit day has become one of the bleakest days in mountaineering history.
This is Mark's fascinating first-person account of his Everest experience..."
