Ever want to know what kind of grit it takes to get to the top of some of the world's tallest peaks? Anyone interested in outdoor adventures will be captivated by the sacrifices made by this mountain climber as he strives to bag the tallest 14 mountains in the world...ie: friends frozen to death in plain sight, gutting out a makeshift living in order to live his dream, watching the death toll of his friends rise while in pursuit of thin air. It will also give you concrete proof that your gut provides sound counsel, if you will only learn to listen. Being an outdoor enthusiast myself, I totally admired his chutzpah. These high mt. peak baggers are a sub-culture all of their own and this book provides a quick peek into their world of rock, ice and sheer guts.
