any book by any mountaineer from the 19th and 20th century who pioneered the sport and didn't fly to basecamp by helicopter to climb the tourist normal route supported by a dedicated team of sherpas that fix ropes all the way to the summit

What's the big deal with the activity of mountain climbing? How is this entertaining to people?
I understand rock climbing where one must use tools and risk their own life, but what's the big idea with mountain climbing? Fresh air?

Haven't seen this yet, but anyone who liked this, and docs about mountaineering in general should check out 'The Alpininst" on Netflix. From a film perspective, it's not a spectacular documentary, but the climber it's about, Marc-Andre Leclerc is absolutely insane, and they got some great footage of him.

As far as books ago, check out Mark Synnott's The Impossible Climb, which is about Alex Honnold's free solo of El Capitan. Doesn't hurt to check out Annapurna as well, which is a classic. Krakauer's books are an obvious go-to as well.

I don't pretend to know the answer to your question, but I do know that the air is thinner and thinner the higher you go and many mountain climbers pass out for the lack of oxygen. I understand more than a few have died because of it.

More than a few died just on this dude's expedition.

The only thing that ever interested me about Crowley is that in his youth he was quite the mountaineer and made it to the top of quite a few big peaks as well as made some early and quite admirable attempts on K2 and Kanchenjunga. What little information that is available on it suggests Crowley ended up the scapegoat for anything which went wrong and his mountaineering career was ended when he got the blame for some deaths which by all accounts should have been placed on the ones who were pointing the finger at Crowley. It is difficult to tell from what is available if Crowley actually was a scapegoat or the limited information available just makes it look that way. Picrel, Crowley on K2.
