Blog # 1, Outside Reading

The book I am reading is Called Into Thin Air, by Jon Krakauer. This book is about a group of climbers, climbing everest that incountered one of the worst disasters that has ever occured on the mountain. It starts off by the author explaining how commercialization has drastically effected the mountain, and exbidtions up the mountain. It cost $75,000 a climb per person without gear or food. Commercialization is not good for the mountain because over time it is starting to become polluted from all of the people attempting to climb the mountain.
