@southpolesteve no, but I read his dad's book, when I was in middle school. got me interested in mountaineering & exploration. -
@jeremystark it's really good. I've read a few on Everest now and it is my fav -
@southpolesteve and you have read Apsley Cherry-Garrard, right? -
@jeremystark have not. Read "South" at the South Pole. Seemed appropriate :) -
@southpolesteve I've read some Shackleton and it's really good, but The Worst Journey in the World is beyond belief.
