In the letter responding to John Krakauer, Anatoli Boukreev addresses the topic of his actions while guiding a group throughout Mount Everest. He argues that Krakauer does not have the amount of experience and he wasn’t as close to the action as Boukreev was. He claims that Krakauer doesn’t have the correct amount of knowledge to make assumptions about his actions on Mount Everest. Boukreev claims that he has a lot more experience than Krakauer does because he has climbed Mount Everest three times and he has overcame seven of the fourteen mountains over 7,000 meters in elevation. He tells the reader that he sensed that there were other problems down the mountain and he wanted to go warn the others about the change of weather that was coming.
