Into the Death Zone: The 1996 Everest Tragedy

By Mr Deep

In May 1996, Mount Everest-the highest point on Earth-became the site of one of the most harrowing tragedies in mountaineering history. As commercial expeditions pushed toward the summit, a fierce and sudden blizzard struck, trapping climbers in the Death Zone and leading to the deaths of eight people.
Into the Death Zone tells the full story: from the personal dreams that brought climbers to the mountain, to the chilling final hours in the storm, to the ripple effects that transformed global climbing culture. With firsthand voices, intimate portraits, and immersive storytelling, this book explores not only what happened-but why it happened, and why it still matters today.
Through 30 chapters and 500,000 words, readers ascend Everest step by step-until they too understand that the summit is never the goal.
