I'm obsessed with outdoor books. I want to hike into Everest base camp. I am obsessed with mount Everest, I don't necessarily want to climb it as a goa, I just think it is fascinating, and I love reading about it and watching documentaries on Everest, Denali, K2, Annapurna, Cho Oyu. One thing about Everest that has had me digging information is the 1996 climbing year and the disaster storm that took the lives of New Zealander, Rob Hall, and american, Scott Fisherand the survivors of that storm, like Charlotte Fox and Tim, Sandra Hill Pittman, Lena Gamelgaard, Beidelman, Doug the postman, Beck Weathers, Ed Viesturs, the IMAX film team, David Breshears, John Krakauer
