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.. Green Cardamom (talk) 04:21, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

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? Wschart (talk). —Preceding undated comment added 16:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

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)
