Another sort of twofer book and movie

one of the movies based on a small part of the book.....tho perhaps the most tragic/epic part. Good cast and good matching to the actual people.

very enjoyable, learning a lot...good to actually see some of the areas the book covers in the Everest event so wonderfully covered by Krackauer in Into Thin Air

Anyone who has NOT read Into Thin Air should...period.

The book I'm reading is also very good as the bio of the making of a world class climber....an unlikely dream of a Illinois flatlander boy.
