excellent adventure book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book will make you truly question the mind-set of mountain climbers, as it relates numerous stories of man vs mountain ( man usually loses, it seems). This book teaches you that you should not trivialize the dangers of mountain climbing ( I suppose you could say not to " make a molehill out of a mountain" ) : > ) <br /> <br />It's a fascinating book.
