This book tackles the never ending question of why we climb. Roberts is brutally honest in trying to give his answer and walks us through his childhood, early climbing adventures and his years as one of Americas most daring climbers.

David Roberts is hands down one of the most talented authors out there and regardless of what you might be looking for in a climbing book, this is a work of art. The content may be somewhat disturbing, but it is honest and you will not be able to put it down.
