Athmospheric and creepy story about 5 men trying to be the first to reach the peak of Kangchenjunga, one of the Himalaya mountains. I am succer for stories about climbing. And if it is also a ghoststory I am hooked. Michelle Paver did not dissappoint me although the story builds up very slowly. But the farther the men climb the creepier it gets.
It is a short book and quick to read. If you are interested in the history of climbing it may not be the one for you. It does not go to much into detail about climbing technic. It is more about the athmosphere and the mystery around an earlier climbing group. I was exactly my cup of tea.
