If you would like to better understand the Mount Rainier tragedy, liars and cowards, read: "High Crimes: the fate of Everest in an age of greed" by Michael Kodas.
"Kodas discovered more deceit, thievery, and double-crossing among climbers than you find in a Martin Scorsese gangster film... an adventure story and an expose of a sport riddled with danger and corruption." --Washington Post Book World
"...this may be the first to explore the mountain's criminal element: the fraudulent commercial guides, ...the violence among climbers..." --Booklist
"Kodas's remarkable book exposes the deceit, robberies and thefts, the drugs fueling some high-altitude expeditions, even the casual willingness of people paid to get climbers to the top to abandon stricken clients to almost certain death...." --Dallas Morning News
Without menses-malice.
