Finished. Definitely made me want to watch the IMAX movie "Everest" that was shot during that fateful season. Into Thin Air is still one of the most compelling and harrowing true stories I've read in recent years, and with the death just a couple of weeks ago of four climbers including a Canadian, it's even more so. 5 stars out of 5.
