Su questo libro

Recensione:

"White-knuckle time on the summit ridge."
--Newsweek

"Dickinson has an eye for meaningful detail and storytelling talent -- a rollicking, insightful and harrowing ride."
--The New York Times Book Review.

Gripping -- the action more than lives up to its promise. Dickinson takes the reader through the steps of his climb with humor, wisdom, and a minimum of bravado -- a thought-provoking exploration of nature and man's will to master it.
--Los Angeles Daily News

"Dickinson brings the fresh perspective and wide eyes of the novice to mountaineering's most enduring saga -- the result is an absorbing narrative that vividly portrays, step by agonizing step, his slow climb to the summit."
--Mercator's World
