This is a story that could practically tell itself, and it's one that should have been gripping every step of the way. Instead, the author seems to have gone out of his way to make it dry and disjointed and hard to follow. Not bad, but could have been better.It's sort of a crossbred look at the climbing community (not pretty) and the brutal Chinese treatment of Tibetans who want to escape to Nepal (also not pretty).
