Beck Weathers

Beck Weathers is an American pathologist from Texas who survived the 1996 Mount Everest disaster. His story was covered in Jon Krakauer's book ''Into Thin Air'' (1997), its film adaptation ''Into Thin Air: Death on Everest'' (1997), and the films ''Everest'' (1998) and ''Everest'' (2015). His autobiographical book, titled ''Left for Dead: My Journey Home from Everest'' (2000) includes his ordeal, but also describes his life before and afterward, as he focused on saving his damaged relationships.
