3. Dark Summit: The Extraordinary True Story of Everest's Most Controversial Season by Nick Heil

The list author says:
	"Also written about the 2006 season this is an easy read, perhaps lacking some credibility as the author wasn't there himself and for that reason The Longest Climb carries more authority."

4. The Climb: Tragic Ambitions on Everest by Anatoli Boukreev
