David Breashears Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Die Alpinhistorikerin und der Extrembergsteiger erzählen vom Versuch der ersten Besteigung des Mount Everest durch die Briten Mallory und Irvine in den 20er Jahren und deren Mythos.

Describes Mallory's final expedition to Mount Everest in 1924, the mystery surrounding his disappearance, and the discovery of his remains in 1999

For David Breashears, climbing has never been a question of bravery: Rather, it is the pursuit of excellence and a quest for self-knowledge. Danger comes, he argues, when ambition blinds reason. The stories this world-class climber and great adventurer tells will surprise you. From discussions of egotism and competitiveness on the heights--despite the brotherhood of the rope--to a frank description of mistakes made during the 1996 Everest tragedy, this personal history goes beyond Mallory's famous quip "Because it's there" to find meaning and hope at the top of the world
