If you've read "Into Thin Air" and are looking for more hiking and backpacking thrill than literature, definitely pick this up. Ignoring Viestur's (and his ghostwriter's) literary stumblings, I absolutely loved this book. It's more memoir and narrative than ITA is, and I particularly enjoyed the span of time and experiences it covered. I don't think it pretends to be anything more lofty or search for more meaning than it does, it's a great, quick read and you'll be torn between either packing up a backpack as soon as you close the book or never leaving your home again. Viestur's is smart and courageous and importantly a responsible climber and hiker, and for what he was able to accomplish in writing, it was gratifying to get to relive his climbs with him.
