The Death Zone: Climbing Everest through the Killer Storm

Matt Dickinson was a member of the 1996 British Himalayan Kingdoms team assigned to film Alan Hinkes 8000m quest. He reached Everest’s summit, via the North Ridge, and became the first Briton to film on the summit, and return. He presents his views of the 1996 season including an account of the three Indo-Tibetan Border Police expedition members who died on the north side. This is one of 20 books related to the Everest disaster of 1996. In 2005 Hinkes became the first Briton to summit all 14 8000m peaks. In the US this book was retitled ‘The Other Side of Everest’.
