Publisher Notes


In May, 1996, the media scrambled to document the gripping story of 16-year-old Mark Pfetzer's expedition to Mt. Everest. Not only was he the youngest climber ever to attempt the summit, but he bore witness to the tragedy documented in Krakauer's "Into Thin Air." In this suspenseful, moment-by-moment, first-person narrative, Mark takes readers past the ever-shifting Khumbu Icefall, over 300 foot crevices, and up into the high-altitude "Death Zone" of Everest. By turns triumphant and tragic, this story will be an inspiration to anyone who reads it. Full-color eight-page photo insert.



Synopses


The author describes how he spent his teenage years climbing mountains in the United States, South America, Africa, and Asia, with an emphasis on his two expeditions up Mount Everest.
