Musings on Spiritual Matters

This is another book concerning mountain climbing on Mt. Everest.  This story deals with the disasters on the hill in 2006.  Mt. Everest is increasing traffic with every coming year.  More and more people are daring to hike up to 29,000 feet.  People with more problems and concerns of ability are attempting to be the first of some certain qualification to summit.  There is competition and rivalries with different companies that lead tourists.  This is all becoming overwhelming.  A place of purity is becoming a place of humanity.  With the use of oxygen more people are able to climb this high point.  We are bringing the mountain down to size.  I believe people should be purist for the hill.  If you are going to climb it, do so without oxygen.  This is a true account of man versus mountain.  The book is written well.  The stories are amazing and interesting.  The book deals with major characters that have a huge role in the Mt. Everest business.  This is not the best book, and some of the stories are repeats from other materials, but if you like adventure books, this is worth your time.
