Title: Everest, Inc.: The Renegades and Rogues Who Built an Industry at the Top of the World
Author: Will Cockrell
Genre: Non-fiction
Everest has become known as a mountain that is "easy" to climb if you have enough money to hire a guide and pay a company to support you. This book examines how that guiding industry grew, the hiccups along the way, and how it is changing in the wake of various tragedies, climate change, and other cultural shifts in Nepal. It's a pretty fascinating look at a place that has captured the imaginations of so many. If you read "Into Thin Air" at an impressionable age like I did, you'll love this look at the guiding industry and how it has changed since 1996.
