Redirect
All the info appears to be in the Maurice Herzog article. thoughts on redirect? --Stormbay (talk) 17:16, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe that the book is notable enough that it deserves its own article. It is considered a classic of mountaineering literature well over half a century later. Jim Heaphy (talk) 04:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
 * There are no references here which substantiate the claim that the book is notable in its own right, so I've marked it for merge. -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:10, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Added references. This is an important book. If anything material from the Herzog article, about the book, should be merged to here, and a "Main article" sectional top hat added to Herzog's section about the book. Green Cardamom (talk) 03:58, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Merge proposal

 * While I believe the book is noteworthy in its own right, there is not a whole lot to say about it that cannot be said on the Herzog page. I have added to the material there.  SUPPORT merge into Herzog.  Ratagonia (talk) 07:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a huge amount that could be added yet. For example a "Summary" of the expedition as described in the book. Information on the books reception from contemporary reviews. Information on book awards and the books influence on other climbers/readers. A list of the climbers involved with summary information about them. etc..

 * Indeed, I'd like to know some more about the controversies. Are they minor descrepancies, like who was at camp 2 on a given day, or are they more substantial and likely to cause us to have a different opinion about Herzog and his leadership of this expedition?

The discrepancies are important. On Herzog's account he was the driving force and hero of the expedition. On the account of the other's present he was a megalomanic whose reaction to adversity was weak and pathetic. Crucially, on his version, he nonchalantly drove his summit-partner on despite protest; while his summit partner's version is that he did not. But Herzog had the book rights, and his version held sway unchallenged for decades. Adam Brink (talk) 18:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
