Book Description:
Frank Wells and Dick Bass had a dream. It was as straightforward as it was difficult: climb the highest mountain on each of the world's seven continents; a feat that had eluded the world's best mountaineers. What made it all the more extraordinary was that Frank and Dick were businessmen, not mountaineers. Both had so little climbing experience that they could hardly be ranked as amateurs, let alone world-class climbers. If that weren't enough, they were both in their fifties. What made them think they could do it? Why would two successful, middle-aged businessmen risk their lives on some of the world's most remote and treacherous slopes? Now, with veteran climber and writer Rick Ridgeway they tell their story. It's all here.

"Dick Bass and Frank Wells shared a great adventure. Like Caesar, they came, they saw, they conquered. But actually, they conquered themselves, not the mountains." (H. Ross Perot)
