The diary of an adult still stuck in adolescence
Revisado: 05-12-24
Yes she did have a traumatic experience when she was 20 about 25 years ago and this creates a level of sympathy that made me buy her book. I found this book narcissistic like the diary of an adolescent masked by an artificial “vulnerability”. A paid athlete with privilege that spends her life climbing rocks that complains about how hard her life is….not an inspiring book and definitely not a great message overall.

Zimmerman writes of the exhilaration he feels while climbing but also the painful realization that summiting at all costs is an outdated model. As A Fine Line traces Graham's journey, mountain lovers everywhere will see themselves in this coming-of-age story of adventure and personal reckoning.

Too much politics
Revisado: 04-08-24
Not really engaging as book. Boring at times. Full of political statements. I prefer athletes busy presenting their climbing work rather than being the voice of a political party or political rhetoric that produce really little results or solve very little.

JFK's Secret Doctor tells a thrilling story of adventure and a historic medical career. Set against the grand panorama of 20th century world events, it captures the remarkable life and spirit of climber and medical visionary Hans Kraus (1905–1996). Kraus was taught English by writer James Joyce, escaped Nazi-dominated Europe, and was JFK's secret back specialist.

The Impossible Climb is an emotional drama driven by people exploring the limits of human potential and seeking a perfect, choreographed dance with nature. Honnold dared far beyond the ordinary, beyond any climber in history. But this story of sublime heights is really about all of us. Who doesn’t need to face fear down fear and make the most of the time we have?

Good book but ....
Revisado: 08-12-19
Good book and good story. However Mark spends too much time accounting for his own adventures in the Trango towers that have very little to do with El Cap. The book seems an excuse to write about those experiences in Pakistan. Why not writing a full book dedicated to that? After all the story of Trango and Alex Lowe is extremely interesting in its own right.

At 28,251 feet, K2 might be almost 800 feet shorter than Everest, but it’s a far harder climb. It will kill you on the way up and the way down. Mick Conefrey guides us through the early story of the legendary mountain and the extraordinary attempts that led up to its first ascent in 1954 - these are tales of riveting drama and unimaginable tragedy.

Boring and not well written. One of the worse mountaineering book I have read. Buy something else
