I went down a research rabbit hole after watching Free Solo, and this book came up. First of all, these climbers did not read the safety warnings when heading into Kyrgyzstan to climb (although pre-911, there was a rebel war going on!)—and they climbed right into terrorist territory. I wished more personal testimony was included, rather than the complete timeline of events. I found the whole situation interesting and frustrating. There is kind of a twist to the story at the end, which kept me reading.
