Mostly very interesting.Lincoln Halls' summit of Everest in 2006, when several other people died, although not in his party.Nothing really dramatic goes wrong after the summit. But Lincoln develops cerebral edema and cannot get down. The sherpas end up living him exposed on the mountain, assumed dead. He survives the night, and comes down the next day in a harrowing experience with 2 sherpas who terrorize him, until they join a larger group of sherpas.Lincoln talks a lot about his hallucinations, his states of mind, and his experience with mediation in recounting the story. Last sentence: In this new light I see the best thing about having climbed Mt. Everest is not so much having done it but more the fact that now I don't have to do it. No longer do I have that unfinished business, and I can move on. p.274
