Wow, this man is a bully. Really. I spent half this book shaking my head at the rants, freak outs and downright tantrums he described. At first I felt bad for his girlfriend, who seems like a very strong woman and could easily have kicked his butt. But she put up with it, why I don't know. I stopped feeling sorry for her. I do admire her for hiking even half the distance she did with her physical problems that eventually forced her off the trail. I'm surprised Mr. White wants to reveal to the world what piece of work he is.
