The reader is left with a vague suspicion that something horrible will occur during the climb, and continues reading to reveal the answers. Also, Krakauer places short excerpts from various pieces of writing in the beginning of each chapter that relate to the events in the upcoming chapter.
Weihenmayer story, which is “Everest”, had a more uplifting tone and a more serious tone. For example throughout the whole story Weihenmayer stays in order from start to finish.
