Condizione: Sehr gut. 278 pages : illustrations (some color), mit zahlr. farbigen Abbildungen / Fotos, Zustand: geringe Gebrauchs- u. Lagerspuren, sehr gutes Exemplar. A celebration of the human spirit! Please don't let them take my legs. This was Tom Whittaker's only thought as he struggled to remain conscious. It was the night after Thanksgiving, and Whittaker, a brash young mountaineer who was fast making a name for himself in the climbing world, was pinned in the front seat of his vehicle on a remote road in Idaho. An out-of-control car had just smashed head-on into his Volkswagen bus, crushing his legs. When he awoke from emergency surgery, he discovered that his right foot had been amputated and that his kneecap had been removed. Lying in his hospital bed, he thought, "My body has always defined me, and now all I can do is sit in its wrecked remains, scared, hopeless, and alone." Just thirty-one years old, Whittaker had to completely reinvent himself. He overcame pain, anger, and thoughts of suicide to embark on a new life of success and adventure. His journey back began when he had a realization: you don't need your legs to go kayaking. Soon he was testing himself-and a series of artificial feet-on rock climbs, and in time he was back at the dangerous game of high-altitude mountaineering. Tom Whittaker never let his dream die. And on May 27, 1998, he made history by becoming the first disabled person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest mountain. Higher Purpose is his heroic story. Along the way, he takes the reader on his most harrowing adven-tures-struggling to survive in Everest's "Death Zone," free-falling from a rock face a thousand feet above Yosemite Valley, kayaking solo down a deadly whitewater river in Tasmania, getting caught in a rock fall in the Alps, racing to avoid an impending avalanche on the Matterhorn, and much more.
