As I prepare to head to Everest Base Camp with a few friends, I am reading everything I can get my hands on to get my head around when I can expect. Karl did a good job sharing his experience.

The book is a personal account of the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trek & is not intended as a guide. The author is a regular, middle-aged, American guy who seems a little green in regards to travel and packing (given the tins of tuna and jars of salsa & almond butter that he brought with him, amongst other things.) He did the trek in November & hired a guide for it. He digresses a few times to mention non-trek related personal experiences, that were not of interest to me, but could be to readers aiming for a more personal connection to the story. Though his experience is overall a favorable one, much of the book deals with the challenges of the trek, notably his fatigue, the cold, lack of hot showers & frustrating flight logistics. The book had a few formatting issues with lines doubled for example, but these were infrequent..
I read this book in preparation for the EBC trek, which I’ll be doing soon. The book provided a little insight into the experience, which is what I wanted. It’s an enjoyable, fast read and there are a few pictures as well.
