Breashears traces his passion for climbing from his youth up to his summit of Everest in 1996. During this expedition, he was filming the Everest IMAX and somehow avoided the storm that lead to the disaster chronicled in Krakauer's book. Breashears's account is gripping and personal. And honestly, it makes you want to experience life from the highest peaks. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/349847?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
