520    In 1996 Beck Weathers and a climbing team pushed toward 
       the summit of Mount Everest. Then a storm exploded on the 
       mountain, ripping the team to shreds, forcing brave men to
       scratch and crawl for their lives. Rescuers who reached 
       Weathers saw that he was dying, and left him. Twelve hours
       later, the inexplicable occurred. Weathers appeared, 
       blinded, gloveless, and caked with ice—walking down the 
       mountain. In this powerful memoir, now featuring a new 
       Preface, Weathers describes not only his escape from 
       hypothermia and the murderous storm that killed eight 
       climbers, but the journey of his life. This is the story 
       of a man’s route to a dangerous sport and a fateful 
       expedition, as well as the road of recovery he has 
       traveled since; of survival in the face of certain death, 
       the reclaiming of a family and a life; and of the most 
       extraordinary adventure of all: finding the courage to say
       yes when life offers us a second chance.
