Third Pole: Mystery, Obsession, and Death on Mount Everest | Mark Synnott

Holy moly, @MsMelissa … what a surprise package! It felt like I kept on pulling out book after book. 😆😆 They all sound so good, too! The tagged book is one I‘ve been especially looking forward to reading.

I LOVE the bookmarks and hid the chocolate bar away for myself. And you KNOW Orange Pekoe of York is going to be just my cup o‘ tea. 😄

Thanks so much, my dear friend! 😘😘 I‘ll get to work on creating a parcel for YOU now. 😘

Absolutely RIVETING 🙌🏻🎧 My heart was pounding the final 1 1/2 hours of this audio. Because this expedition was so recent(2019) and there were two quests, I was completely absorbed in both Mark‘s personal story & the 1924 story of Sandy Irvine & George Mallory. Throughout this book, Mark shares other climbers fates which were equally compelling. Mark raises many moral questions & ethics about climbers, their sherpas, the governments 👇🏼

Cinfhen and the expedition companies and their guides. This was a true adventure story!! Loved it @megabooks #ReadingAsia21 #Tibet

I‘m enjoying this book SO MUCH. Maybe even more than Into Thin Air. It feels a bit more personal. What really amazes me is the danger the bottlenecking getting down the mountain causes after reaching the summit. Inexperienced climbers have no business being on the mountain. Climbing Everest has become a bucket-list thrill for wealthy people who pay exuberant fees to have others do the brunt of the work and take a major risk on their behalf.

Cinfhen #ReadingAsia21 #Tibet @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB Thanks so much @Megabooks for putting this on my #ReadersRadar 3y

Megabooks @Cinfhen Agree re:Everest!! I‘m so glad my #AudioGuru skills have been spot on recently! 3y

LeahBergen Ooo, this sounds good. 👍🏻 3y

Cinfhen Ha!! Maybe you saw @Megabooks initial review @MsMelissa 😁It‘s such a compelling book @Librarybelle Another one I may have missed if not for #ReadingAsia21 3y

AlaMich I have this as a library borrow sitting on my bedroom floor, but maybe I‘ll try to borrow the audio instead. I loved Into Thin Air, so this sounds right up my alley. (edited) 3y

#ReadingAsia21 #Tibet Recommended from my favorite #AudioGuru @Megabooks 💜

Librarybelle, BarbaraBB

Librarybelle Gorgeous flowers! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @Librarybelle and I can recommend this audio 💕🎧👍🏻it‘s very good 😌 I‘m loving #ReadingAsia21 3y

Librarybelle I‘ll have to keep the audio version in mind! I‘m listening to way more audios now as I do house chores; I struggle listening to nonfiction on audio for some reason, so I‘m always up for good suggestions on nonfiction! 3y

Cinfhen That‘s interesting @Librarybelle because I find NF/ memoir much more enjoyable on audio than fiction. Although lately I‘m listening to both fiction & NF pretty evenly 3y

Librarybelle That is interesting! I love to see how we all process our reading differently. I enjoy listening to fluff fiction that I can easily listen to and not worry I miss a big plot twist. Perfect escape, though I still find myself so caught up in the story that I sometimes forget I‘m in the middle of cleaning! 😂 3y

Cinfhen That is true.... @Librarybelle audio is PERFECT for fluff reads 3y

Megabooks Glad you‘re enjoying this!! 3y

Cinfhen LOVING IT @Megabooks Maybe even MORE than Krakauer

Into Thin Air

Megabooks I think they‘re about equal to me! 3y

What an adventure! George Mallory was among the first Europeans to try to summit Everest via the North Face in #Tibet. In 2001, searchers found Mallory‘s body and looked for a camera that may have proven he was the first to summit. In 2019, Mark was part of an expedition trying to find the camera on Mallory‘s companion. This book has a great mix of climbing stories, high tech reconnaissance, and the history of the mountain. #readingAsia2021 ⬇️

Megabooks I have a book coming Tuesday about the 2015 season on the south (Nepalese) side of the mountain. There was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on summit day that year. Stay tuned!

Hopefully I‘ll finish up this for #ReadingAsia #Tibet tomorrow. These climbers are searching for a camera on George Mallory‘s fellow climber to see if they were the first both to summit Mount Everest and the North Face, which lies on the Tibetan side. I have another book coming Tuesday about the same season, but more like Into Thin Air on the Nepalese side. Love me some Everest! #audiobook

Cinfhen, Librarybelle, BarbaraBB

Cinfhen Love me some Everest too!!! I can‘t recall if I read Tibet yet 🙄I don‘t think so‼️ 4y

Librarybelle Sounds interesting! 4y

Megabooks @Cinfhen get on the storygraph!! So easy to keep track of challenges. Still enjoying the book!! 4y

Megabooks @Librarybelle it is so far! 4y
