Synopsis:
In this extraordinary memoir, Breashears takes that perilous climb, during which nine would tragically perish, and uses it as the linchpin of his life, culminating a long journey characterized by hardship and adversity, passion and perseverance. As his multitude of fans will discover, there is an inextricable link between this enigmatic man's troubled childhood, his brilliant successes as a climber and cinematographer, and his courage and honor in the face of disaster.
Review:
"Very few of us will ever set foot on Everest-and many of those who have, as Breashears observes, were not ready for that privilege. But this thoughtful, philosophical narrative may be the next best thing to being there. It would be hard to find a more articulate, disciplined guide than David Breashears, although it is a little unfair to the rest of us mortals that one man should be so gifted a brilliant filmmaker, wellspoken, good-looking, a superlative climber, and an exceptionally fine, insightful write."
