Dark Summit – The extraordinary true story of Everest’s most controversial season –

“Each year, more and more people attempt the potentially lethal climb o the summit of Mount Eerest. In 2006, eleven people died on the mountain, the highest number for ten years. But unlike 1996, there was no surprise blizzard, only the constant dangers posed by unstable ice, merciless cold, thin air – and human nature.

This is the shocking true story of David Sharp, a young British solo climber, who was passed by forty people as he lay dying on the upper slopes of the mountain, and of Lincoln Hall, who was left for dead yet miraculously survived.

It is a riveting account of what climbing the world’s highest peak really mean for those who take on the challenge and how far will they go in their single-minded pursuit of the summit.”
