My trip to the top of Everest
Discussion
A few years ago I read Into Thin Air and then the Anatoli Boukreev alternative. Thoroughly fascinating.
Do you eat anything special or just usual high carb/energy stuff?
Did the Sherpas use oxygen to summit? The use of oxygen features massively in the books and I can see Anatoli 's position that it is risky to use it because if something does go wrong and you suddenly can't access it your body doesn't stand a chance. Saying that I would imagine summiting without o would be impossible for people not born at altitude or those who have spent a lifetime climbing.
