Books like In the Shadow of Denali: Life and Death on Alaska's Mt. McKinley

I was expecting so much from this book but ended up pretty disappointed. I expected it to be full of deadly accounts of climbs and near misses but there was hardly any of that. Instead we got endless hero worship of the author's favourite climber, long biographies of the climbers but less about the climb, a man with mental illness and his previous exploits but a vague mention of him going to Denali to die, the author's adventures as a mountain guide in Alaska where he and his friends care little for the job they do, people they know who live in the area, great detail on the author shovelling other climber's turds, and other things that lacked the interest and excitement of the couple of detailed featured climbs. It was more about the author's poetic waffling about the mountain and his self-indulgent adventures. Even the stories of other people climbing has to mention the author's involvement or his view on things. To be honest I found this dull and boring. I'd rather have had the adventures of the bears that roam the area.
