 * Keep. Reviewed by Publishers Weekly, Booklist and The Washington Post. This is enough for us to have an article, WP:NBOOK only requires two reviews. Haukur (talk) 14:37, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The other two links you posted, don't work. Sadly, I was only able to find the first one in my searches. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Pinging . Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:17, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * They work but they require ProQuest access to read. I can send you the files if you'd like. Haukur (talk) 15:33, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I wonder if they could be archived at archive.org as weblinks? Anyways, I found one of the 2 in the question, which makes this matter irrelevant now (Booklist found as well, but it is paywalled even on their official website so nothing there). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:43, 26 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep Found The Washington Post review at, thought it took me ages to find with narrowed search. It and the Publisher Weekly one are non-trivial, so the subject meets WP:NBOOK. There is also a paragraph on Isthmus (newspaper) . Booklist one is locked behind, sadly. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:41, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment, Booklist review can be found here, Sports Illustrated - has an article about other climbers critical of what happened (can be used to expand article), and it was shortlisted for Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature (here), so with PW, and WP this is a keep as meeting WP:NBOOK.

 * Keep the sources found by Haukurth (which I verified) and further found by Coolabhapple demonstrate notability. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:20, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep per Haukurth. Passes WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Close per WP:SNOW.4meter4 (talk) 01:53, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
