Into Thin Air Teen & Young Adult Books vision and blindnessJon Krakauers Into Thin Air is the true story of a 24 hour period on Everest, when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended in the worst single season death toll in the peaks history. In March 1996, Outside magazine sent veteran journalist and seasoned climber Jon Krakauer on an expedition led by celebrated Everest guide Rob Hall.
