Dark Shadows Falling

In 1992 an Indian climber was left to die on Mount Everest, despite being just 30 metres or so from another climbing team`s camp. The controversy sparked by this event and by the increasing abuse of Mount Everest for financial gain appalls Joe Simpson and is the basis for this gripping polemic.”His concern is that the strong ethics and selfless instincts that have characterised mountaineering in the past are being eroded by modern-day ambition, selfishness and greed.” – Audrey Salkeld, Sunday Times.
