Mountain Madness: The Biography of Scott Fischer

American mountaineer Scott Fischer forever remained on Everest in May 1996. The ascent of the highest peak in the world became a test of his skills, courage, and endurance. His last expedition and the tragic outcome are depicted in many films and books, but the author of this book, Robert Birkby, captured who Scott Fischer really was, what led him to mountaineering, how he became the first American to summit Lhotse, and how he created the club "Mountain Madness".
