1. Closure - After watching Everest on Netflix I was desperate do know more details about who were does people and why did they push themselves to such extreme risk?? So at the very last image of the film I found out about this book and immediately bought it and started to read. It is a very pleasant story; I felt intimately related to both Peach and Beck as they unravel their struggle on individual statements throughout the book. I learned to like both of them, and as a Physician I could very well relate to Becks insights on our day-to-day scuffles. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and emotions, I am sure it wasn’t easy to do, and happy to know that the adversity made both of you stronger and brought you together again.
