    Up towards the sky3

    Agnese Mariotti A very involving and exciting account of the exploration and summiting of Annapurna. A bit too slow and repetitive in the description of the long and excruciating descent,but this change of pace very well reflects the change of mood and the new fears of the expedition. Herzog, strong and determined mountaineer also appears in his frailties in several episodes, like when carried away by the joy and absolute amazement of reaching the summit he carelessly loses his gloves at the start of the descent and with the gloves most of his fingers will later go. Three and a half stars. by Agnese Mariotti
