Summit_FINAL-interior

A summit is a summit, and the truth is the truth. But the view from 8,848 meters isn’t always so clear. Two men, seventy years apart, push for the top of Mount Everest, driven by forces beyond their control and something inside that says climb. Beautifully written and meticulously researched, Summit follows two climbers across two continents, and up one fifty-five-million-year-old mountain as their stories and movements intertwine across history to culminate in one final push for the top of the world.
