Alyssa and I really enjoy casual hiking, although we did hike the Grand Canyon in early 2020, but that was a serious challenge for us!
Everest 1922 by Mick Conefrey sounds incredible! I had this book on my desk for a few days, and everyone in our office kept stopping by to say that they wanted to read it!
Here’s a little about this book: “The dramatic and inspiring account of the very first attempt to climb Mount Everest, published to coincide with the centenary of the expedition of 1922.
The first attempt on Everest in 1922 by George Leigh Mallory and a British team is an extraordinary story full of controversy, drama, and incident, populated by a set of larger-than-life characters straight out of an adventure novel.
The expedition ended in tragedy when, on their third bid for the top, Mallory's party was hit by an avalanche that left seven men dead. Using diaries, letters, and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey creates a rich, character-driven narrative that explores the motivations and private dramas of the key individuals—detailing their backroom politics and bitter rivalries—who masterminded this epic adventure.”
Thank you @pegusus_books for this gifted copy! Everest 1922 published last month and is available to purchase on our Amazon storefront!
