4.54 stars. I was expecting the outcome of this book to be more like The Terror which I read a few years ago, and even though it took an unexpected turn, I still really enjoyed it. I loved the MCs and their friendship. Simmons always deep dives into minute details which can seem a bit much at times, but many of those details always end up sticking with me and adding to the overall atmosphere of the story.

“Richard, weren’t you one of the first to see the monster’s tracks on Lhakpa La when you led Mallory up to that pass in ’twenty-one?”
“The porters knew exactly what the tracks were and who or what had made them,” said Finch in his soft German accent. “They were made by Metohkangmi…a yeti.”

"The ghosts of the 4 dead men speak the loudest from the stone to me, and any climber must learn to hear them and to love and respect climbing on the same stones they trod, sleeping on the same slabs where they slept, triumphing on the same narrow summit where 7 men shouted in triumph, and focusing hard on descending safely down the still treacherous section where 4 of them fell thousands of feet to their deaths."

With the winter storm headed our way, I'm back in my Arctic Era. This winter has been so mild in Oklahoma until now and not suitable for arctic/polar themed reading.
This one has been on my TBR forever, and I loved The Terror. Such a slow burn but worth it.
"The summit of the Matterhorn offers very clear choices: a misstep to the left and you die in Italy; a wrong step to the right and you die in Switzerland."
