IMO Krakaur is a ratty journalist. Just saying. Conquistadors Of The Useless: Lionel Terray Buried In The Sky: Various A Slender Thread: Stephen Venables The Beckoning Silence: Joe Simpson Nanga Parbat Pilgrimage; Herman Buhl K2: Life And Death; Ed Viesturs Higher Ground : Martin Moran Alps 4000. : Martin Moran Also his book about his winter Munros. Forgotten the title as I’ve lent it out. The Black Cuillin: Calum Smith Savage Arena; Joe Tasker The Last Blue Mountain: Ralph Barker The Wild Within: Simon Yates To Live: Elisabeth Revol The Ogre: Doug Scott Mountaineering In Scotland/Undiscovered Scotland:W H Murray Everest The Cruel Way: Joe Tasker From The Highlands To The Himalayas: Jim Wilson If You Fall: Karen Darke Everest: Alone At The Summit: Stephen Venables The White Spider The Ascent Of Everest: John Hunt Against The Wall : Simon Yates Ascent Into Hell: Ferguson White (ok but a bit whiny). Climbing Everest: The Writings Of George Mallory Dead Mountain: Donnie Eichar Edmund And Peter Hilary: Two Generations Last Climb ( 1921, 22 and 24 Everest Expeditions) David Breashesrs Mountain Disaster: Hamish MacInnes Alone On The Wall: Alex Honnold The Push: Tommy Caldwell Ghosts Of K2: Mick Confrey This Game Of Ghosts: Joe Simpson Annapurna: Maurice Herzog Possibly a few more up there but it’s crammed full of tat and needs a better explore.
