Other than a "1" lacking on the number line on the copyright page it is identical to the first printing. It has been signed by Boukreev and by DeWalt on the title page. Very few copies were signed. Signed second printings are much less common than signed first printings. The book measures 242mm tall x 157mm, and has 256 pages, 1 b/w & 24 color photos, 2 maps, 1 graph. Good book, recommended reading for anyone planning to climb high. Account of the May 1996 Everest SE Ridge climb where leading guides Scott Fischer & Rob Hall, & 3 others, perished in a storm. Boukreev was Fischer’s chief guide on the trip & subsequently had plenty of criticism directed at the decisions he made high on the mountain. It’s a clear account with clear opinions based on great experience.
