Reviews
Many who write about the mountaineering life are doomed to suffer the question, are they writers who climb, or climbers who write? With Greg Child, at least, the answer is crystal clear: Writing or climbing, he reaches the same heights with style.-- "Jeff Long" Nobody writes better about mountaineering than Greg Child. This is a funny, sometimes wrenching, extremely powerful book. I would recommend it to anyone.-- "Jon Krakauer" This book is a treasure, capturing that mixture of stress, excitement, tragedy, humor and joy that makes up extreme climbing in the Himalaya.-- "Chris Bonington"
