Surviving the Mountain's Deadliest Day and Finding the Resilience to Climb Again
by: Jim Davidson
narrated by: Tim Campbell
rating: loved
This book started slow for me, but once I was into it, I didn't want to stop listening. I was fascinated by the logistics of climbing Mount Everest, but I was also very intrigued by Jim Davidson's reflections on his climbing career and especially how he handled trying to climb Mount Everest a second time after his first attempt was thwarted by a major earthquake that caused the deadliest day in the history of Everest.
If you like adventure memoirs you MUST add this one to your list. It is so well written. You are given so many details, but you don't feel bogged down by them. And Jim's writing is reflective and clear.
