Noah Adams speaks with mountain climber Jon Krakauer about his experience last week on Mt. Everest. Krakauer and his team were caught near the peak when a storm hit on Friday, killing at least 9 climbers. Krakauer, author of "Into the Wild" (Villard: New York, 1996) and a contributing editor of Outside Magazine, spoke to us from Katmandu, Nepal.
