A large number of first-hand accounts of mountaineering on Mount Everest have been published since concerted efforts to climb the mountain began in the early twentieth century. However, there is a lack of research into the themes presented consistently throughout these writings, which span a period of nearly one hundred years.

520 $a A large number of first-hand accounts of mountaineering on Mount Everest have been published since concerted efforts to climb the mountain began in the early twentieth century. However, there is a lack of research into the themes presented consistently throughout these writings, which span a period of nearly one hundred years.
520 $a This study utilized a qualitative content analysis methodology in an effort to identify and describe themes. Specifically, it sought to address the notion of author intentionality in regard to climbing Mount Everest via an analysis of the author's attitudes and purposes. A purposive sampling method was used to choose ten specific works for the study. Open coding of the accounts led to the identification of three major phenomena: personal affect, interpersonal relationships, and technical logistics. These were defined through reflexive journaling. Passages fitting these phenomena were then drawn from each of the ten accounts, and were analyzed using axial coding.
520 $a Five themes were found to exist across the entire body of work. These included: an interaction between the author and another individual or location significant to the practice of Everest mountaineering; works written in the manner of a technical reference guide; the sense that summiting the mountain was an achievement to be earned; tension between self-fulfillment and group cooperation; and anthropomorphizing of the mountain. During the coding process, these were titled: a brush with fame, talking to themselves, earned achievement, me versus we, and anthropomorphism, respectively. Other significant passages not directly related to the research question were utilized in order to develop suggestions for further research following this study.
