Fischer was kind of an idiot.Matz wrote:not overwhelmed, but I'll definitely check it out, I've probably read the book three times. Is Gyllenhaal Scott Fischer!? Hope not, Fischer was way cooler than that
But I do really respect what he did to clean all the trash off of everest.
Didn't seem Krakauer cared much for him either.
It will be interesting to see how the movie portraits the characters. If is sticks to Jon's interpretation or takes bits and pieces from all the other books.
Now Ed Viesturs is the man. He was amazing and so humble.
If you like all the pop-mountain books like Into Thin Air, Touching the Void, Eiger Dreams etc... I would highly suggest Viesturs "No Shortcuts to the Top" if you haven't read that.
And the classic of all mountain classics Herzog's "Annapurna"
