reviewed Everest Exposed: The MEF Authorised History on October 12, 2007 Everest Exposed
Written by the youngest member of the first successful Everest expedition, the book is an account of the first attempts to climb Everest from the earliest British attempts until Hillary and Tenzing finally reached the summit in 1953. After a detailed documentation of the early attempts, he lists down and describes briefly the succeeding ascents by other countries, including the first woman on top, the Messner climbs, and descents using skis and snowboards.
His accounts are detailed, descriptive, humorous, and devoid of drama. While happily describing the successes of various climbers, he would simply end paragraphs with "sadly, he died" while climbing or descending some other mountain.
