Review
"- 'An admirably honest account of what climbing Everest involves' - Mall on Sunday - 'Dr Kenneth Kamler has written an extraordinarily insightful account of the human price and human rewards of high altitude mountaineering...undoubtedly destined to become a classic of mountaineering literature.' - Fanya Rose, President, The Explorers Club - 'Ken Kamler, as both medical doctor and an experienced high-altitude climber, bringa an exciting and unique perspectove to the dnagers and rewards of Everest.' - David Breashears, Director and Leader, Everest IMAX Filming Expedition
Product Description
Centring on the disastrous 1996 Everest expeditions, this is a first-hand account of how emergency medicine is performed and lives saved or lost under the most perilous conditions. During the multiple attempts on the summit in May 1996, conditions rapidly deteriorated and a desperate medical situation suddenly emerged. Nothing could have prepared Dr Kamler for what he faced, including the treatment of climber Beck Weathers, who miraculously stumbled into camp from the clutches of death. Kamler recalls the effects of fear, stress and adrenaline on the entire group.
