Annapurna

Lukas Gräf

Incredible account of the first summit by humans above 8,000 meter, crazy to think they were smoking cigarettes and using 1950s technology while doing it. I would have wished to hear a few more opinions of the other expedition participants, since it becomes quite focused on Herzog alone to the end. Also, what was their lives like after they returned to Paris? Did any of them go back to the Himalaya for other expeditions?
