Scott Fischer, Mount Everest & a life lived on high

Summary

Scott Fischer found in Mount Everest a perfect landscape for his fearless spirit. Scaling the world's highest peak tested his skills, his courage, and his endurance. His legendary final expedition-and its tragic outcome-are portrayed in Everest, the 3-D movie adaptation starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Scott Fischer. Now Robert Birkby, renowned outdoor adventure writer and one of Fischer's close friends, captures in this intimate and stirring portrait of the climber what led him to trek to the top of the world-before he left it altogether
