The buddy read has started :D. Do we have a tag for it, BT?
And we are off to an action packed start, Messner being alone in some Tibetanian valley. I already did some eye rolling on these very first pages:
Making my way through some ash-colored juniper bushes, I suddenly heard an eerie sound - a whistling noise, similar to the warning call mountain goats make. [...] I stared into the depths of the night. My hands were shaking. The Sherpas used to say that whistling meant danger, and that to escape a yeti one should move downhill as quickly as possible.
Before this assessment of the situation, Messner followes the strange creature up the mountain without thinking twice if it´s going to be dangerous or not. But god forbid if it starts to whistle, then you are in serious trouble.
