Forever on the Mountain: The Truth Behind One of Mountaineering's Most Controversial and Mysterious Disasters

An Emotional Read

On a trip to Alaska back in the 90's, we were touring Denali, the clouds broke and the guide quickly pointed out a lovely view of Mount McKinley.

Gives new meaning to "couldn't put it down"!

An elegantly written chronicle of a fateful expedition.

Hard to Put Down

A fan of mountaineering books ever since Jon Krakauer's \"Into Thin Air,\" I found this one more readable and memorable than a number of others I've read in recent years.

Great Suprise

I am one of those people that is always in the middle of eight books.

Chilling and Wonderful!

Tabor has put together a beautiful, extremely balanced account of a tragedy that includes the objective, the subjective, and quite tastefully, the emotions of the survivors.

Forever on the Mountain

Enjoyed the book quite a bit.

Preconceived opinions?

Very well researched, gripping account of one of mountaineering's greatest tragedies

This book is impeccably research and presents a very controversial subject in an unbiased manner.

Who do we blame for a natural tragedy?

The seven who died on Denali were likely doomed at the moment the five on top decided to go for the summit.

pursuits & dreams

This book is thought provoking because it reveals so many things.
