Imagine Yourself
Climbing Mount Everest
A true story, warts and all, of what really happened to ad exec and amateur climber Kevin Flynn during his days at the top of the world. In this riveting, entertaining adventure, Flynn takes the reader along for the ride through each stage of his expedition, step by precarious step, from base camp to summit and back again.
In May 2004, Kevin Flynn reached the summit of Mt. Everest—but not without tears, laughter, failures, near-death experiences and great friendships. If you've ever wondered what it would be like for a mere mortal to attempt Mt. Everest, this book is as close as it gets.
Grab this
book and take the journey for yourself.
It’s like being there
yourself—without all that pesky danger.

"I've climbed with Flynn on Everest and Elbrus and he understands that there's a lot more to mountaineering than just getting to the summit. I think this book will help the reader understand the joy and pain that accompanies every climber on a big mountain climb. Flynn gets it."
