excellent read!

Cathy O'Dowd writes an excellent account of the first South Africans to reach the summit of Everest. She defends well and explains in detail why each member was 'on their own' and why Bruce Herrod ended up never returning. The book doesn't go into Woodall's megalomania like most other accounts of him do, too bad, I was hoping for more of an inside scoop. You've gotta love Cathy though, she's climbed Everest from both sides and is an attractive, athletic woman...what more could you want?
