  quite a tale that really makes me want to take a hike

Hard to imagine that climbing to Everest base camp is even possible yet Im quite inspired to try and if I do I wouldnt hesitate to do it as a Hobnob trekker! Having been an Everest aficionado for years and having a trek to Everest Base Camp on my bucket list, I couldnt resist picking up this title.
Mark Johnson not only does a great job explaining the various components of the trek including the destinations along the way but does so in a light, and some parts incredibly hilarious way.
Even if you are not a big fan of travelogues or epic once in a lifetime adventures, the book is so much fun to read.
One almost cannot help but root for these travelers as they diligently and in some cases painfully make their way towards Everest Base Camp.
I really enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it, especially for a light hearted, inspiring change of pace, Informative

I am planning my hike to EBC and found this book, I prefer to read a common mans version of what to expect, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I would have loved more detailed info of the tea houses and food, But I guess I will experience that for myself, Your experience was very encouraging and entertaining, Fun read, very entertaining, and a writing style that makes the reader feel h/she is part of the journey, Armchair traveler read! Why would an American "doofus" dad create a company to guide people on a mountain trek he's never been on The book makes it sound like he was interested in some adventure to prove he was still cool, but I suspect it was so that he and his friends could expense the trip to the company they formed for that purpose, then monetize it with a book.
The "doofus" shtick gets old fast, and the trip isn't wildly successful, Nobody dies, but this is the trek to base camp, not climbing Everest, Some people do have to turn back because of altitude sickness and his wife suffers quite a bit from knee problems and has to be helicoptered back to Lukla while he's bragging about how fast he's making it down the mountain.
I guess if this is the ONLY book you read about the base camp trek before going it's got plenty of good information, but it shouldn't be the ONLY book.
