This story kept me immersed and engaged all throughout. I genuinely enjoyed learning about what it takes to successfully reach the summit of a mountain - I never knew how much careful preparation and planning goes into it, but it’s intense to say the least! Which makes sense since you’re essentially trying to reach points known as the ‘death zone’ 😟 . Additionally, I’ve always been fascinated by Mt. Everest and even more-so, the brave souls (despite the many horror stories) who continue to climb each year… I couldn’t think of anything worse tbh 😂

When it comes to the plot and its characters, I thought it and everyone were very entertaining. I appreciated the commentary on how women/POC climbers have to face additional barriers when up on the mountain. As for Cecily, I liked her enough, but I did think it took her way too long to catch onto obvious cues, nuances, and details especially as a journalist and that did bother me, lol. 

Lastly the killer reveal and the twist, was pretty good! I thought I had everything figured out early on and in a way I did, but of course, there was more to it. The thought of being stuck on a mountain at high altitude with little to no tools WITH a killer loose is downright terrifying. It still gives me the chills when I think about it!
