“An extraordinary life.”The New York Times Book Review “A fitting homage to one of the great outdoor extremists.”—Kirkus Reviews Legendary climber 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. Robert Birkby, one of Scott’s close friends, captures in this intimate and stirring portrait who Scott Fischer really was and what led him to climb to the top of the world—before he left it altogether. “A personal, uncritical biography that rounds out the portrait of Fischer sketched in Krakauer’s best-seller Into Thin Air.”—The New York Times Book Review “A much fuller picture of a climber widely critiqued in the high-profile coverage after the Everest tragedy.”—Seattle Post Intelligencer “A vivid portrait of a superb athlete whose love of mountain climbing drove everything he did.”—Ed Viesturs, author of No Shortcuts to the Top “Birkby succeeds in illuminating the power mountains can exert over the human soul.—Publishers Weekly Updated with a New Introduction and EpiloguePlus new photos exclusive to the digital edition!

I've read several books about the 1996 Mt Everest tragedies, most from the view point of Rob Hall's team. After reading Boukreev's "The Climb" I looked for other books from the survivors of Scott Fischer's team. What I came across is this great book about Scott Fischer and how he came to be one who lived his life on high.As with other men from the teams who have written books, the wives certainly were not 100% on board with their spouses being gone months of the year climbing very dangerous mountains. Jeannie Fischer-Price was no different. But as Scott's wife, he told her from the beginning that he was a mountaineer at heart and she would need to learn to accept that. So she continued to be the real bread winner in the family as a pilot for Alaskan Airlines and Scott kept climbing mountains.When he died on Mt Everest that May, 1996, Scott left his wife, Jeannie and son Andy, age 9, and daughter Katie Rose who was 4.The book gave me much greater perspective on Scott than I had before I read this book.
