Into Thin Air: Blog 2

             Jon Krakauer ends "Into Thin Air" reminiscing about his experience on Mt. Everest.  Krakauer states "of the six climbers on Hall's expedition who reached the summit, only Mike Groom and I made it back down: four teammates with whom I'd laughed and vomited and held long, intimate conversations lost their lives."(pg. 283) In this excerpt of "Into thin Air" through Krakauers words the reader can tell that he is mournful over the deaths of his former teammates and it seems that he feels a sort of guilt over the fact that he survived when many of him teammates passed away during the climb up to the top of Mt.  Everest.
