I'll recommend Alive by Piers Paul Read. Imagine spending 10 weeks at 4,500m elevation in winter with no warm clothes or real shelter, and that's not even the worst of your problems.

Haven't read it but surely Lansing's Endurance is a more unbiased and readable account.

Based, that story made me lose sleep

>Using shards of glass from the airplane window as a fillet knife
>Dehydrating meat on the hot metal of the fuselage
>If I don't make it back in 2 weeks, you can eat my sister

Best part is when the first rescuer has to spend the night up there with them and he has to play it cool kek

These guys weren't mountaineers by choice, but they suffered the same hardships. Imagine being stuck at 16,000 feet with no winter clothes and only one pair of sunglasses for your entire team.
Also has got to be the best-researched survival book I've ever read.

Has anyone read both South and Endurance? I've only read the latter; I wonder how Shackleton's account compares. I'm guessing it's far more biased.

Enjoy

Pic related is the only book that has genuinely made me lose sleep.
