May 10, 1996: near the summit of Mount Everest a storm of unimaginable ferocity strikes, claiming the lives of eight climbers and leaving others stranded in a fight for survival. This is the story of one of the most controversial and tragic days in mountaineering history.
Among the chaos and controversy, one name stands out: Anatoli Boukreev. His actions that day would spark a heated debate that rages on to this very day. Boukreev's name was brought into prominence in Jon Krakauer's book Into Thin Air, which sold over two million copies in the first couple of years after it was published. Krakauer was critical of Boukreev and his guiding style on the mountain, saying it was irresponsible behavior for a guide.
Was Anatoli Boukreev a hero, or was he a villain? Let's find out.
