Great book that feathers historical climbing with modern accounts. Where is Sandy Irvine?!
Another winner for #NFN21
I really enjoyed this memoir of a 2019 Everest climb combined with the history of the Mallory/Irvine climb post WWI. If you like Everest books this one is worth the read even if it seems like you‘ve read enough books about Mallory.
#NonFictionNovember Day 4! My new walking shoes came and I love them even if my fashionista daughter made fun of them. I‘m still listening to Obama‘s promised land and reading about Mt. Everest. Caught up on the pictured podcast on my walk.
Today I learned: On Mt. Everest Sandy Irvine‘s camera might still work because it is mechanical (no frozen batteries.)

Yesterday was kind of all over the place as far as reading goes, but I did manage a chapter of the tagged book and a walk with the pictured podcast. I‘m also still listening to President Obama‘s book.
Today I learned: Morgan Stanley was given permission to act as a bank during the 2008 financial crisis.

Finished the tagged book this morning surrounded by a gaggle of dogs. 🤪
If you enjoyed Into Thin Air, this is a fantastic companion piece. Synnott climbed Everest in 2019 (the year of the viral Everest traffic jam) in search of the body is Sandy Irvine, who perished with George Mallory in 1924. Mallory‘s body was discovered in 1999 but Irvine remains lost. Along with the camera he carried with them, which very well could answer the mystery ⬇️
