Interesting read about climbing.
Wow! Makes you want to really put down the book and get going somewhere thrilling! Lucky for me Jon Krakauer provided the advanture vicariously.
A dozen excellent essays on climbing and its personalities. I always enjoy Krakauer's work, and this is no exception
One of the best writers of outdoor non-fiction. Highly recommended.

'Ventures among Men and Mountains' is the subtitle of the book. Interesting for all those who love to read about real people and their adventures.
