Into thin air was a great read
The issues in the photo were the same as those described in the book - published in 1997 and told the story of the disaster in 1996. If you read the book you wouldn't try going up as what will kill you is the number of people, of questionable ability, all trying to hit the top within a small time window. For it to be safe you have to be able to get down quickly.
Madness that scenes like that are still happening.
