So I finished Into Thin Air last night, and Krakauer spends about 15-20 pages ripping on DeWalt and saying that a lot of the stuff he wrote about was fabricated. From what I gather, DeWalt seems really interested in defending Boukreev by any means necessary, even if it means butchering quotes from people and paiting Krakauer as some sort of a hit artist (something I didn't get from Into Thin Air at all). I'm not sure I want to read The Climb because of it, but I probably will in the interest of seeing (DeWalt's version of ) Boukreev's story.
For now I am moving on to Baseball Between the Numbers. After that I'd like to try and tackle Morris's biographies of Teddy Roosevelt again. I read half of the first one last summer, couldn't put it down for a week, and then just stopped. I don't know why.
