Hey, Hey, Hey  Avery here,
SO SORRY!! I have not written like all summer. So this summer I did a lot and read a lot. One of my favorites was this book Into Thin Air. So here it goes...

Jon Krakauer's life long dream is to climb Mt. Everest. He finally has an opportunity to when he is working for the Outside. At first he is only to climb to base camp, but he convinced the owners to let him climb to the summit and also to give him the year off the prepare. When the time finally comes Jon is thorn into the busyness of preparing to summit. Dealing with trials such as H.A.P.E( high altitude pulmonary edema) and H.A.C.E.( high altitude cerebral edema). Once on the summit a storm comes up quickly and leads to the 1996 disaster. For more info click here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Mount_Everest_disaster . 

This is a great book with great details and it is very personal. You also get the feeling that this is real (it is) though sometimes personal accounts are boring that isn't true about this book. 

Hope you like it! Adios, Chu, Sayonara / さよăȘら,Auf Wiedersehen,Au Revoir, Shalom,Arrivederci

P.S. Go multi-colored
