This author, Jon Krakauer (who also wrote Into Thin Air about a Mt. Everest trek), does a great job of researching every bit of information that could be discovered about the elusive McCandless who had severed ties with Christopher McCandless's family before setting off on Christopher McCandless's journey, likely out of a sense of disillusionment with what Christopher McCandless saw as their hypocrisy (and hell, probably everyone can relate to feeling that way at that age -- that break would likely have been mended).

Jon Krakeur

The script inspired by several accounts (including Jon Krakeur’s bestseller, Into Thin Air) of what happened atop that mountain on the fateful days of May 10-11 1996 — resulting in the highest number of casualties Everest had seen in one day till then, 8 — is clear that surmounting Everest is about endurance above all else.
