Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Conbining gripping adventure writing with intimate memoir, Rick Ridgeway takes readers to the mysterious mountain domain of Tibet, and onto the remote corners of his past. Twenty years ago, in the wake of a massive and terrifying avalanche, Ridgeway cradled his dying friend Jonathan in his arms and pledged to keep watch over Jonathan's infant daughter Asia. Now Asia is a vibrant, headstrong young woman; hoping to help her connect with the father she never knew, Ridgeaway takes her to the Himalayas Jonathan so cherished.

Inscribed "To Michael, Julie and Hayden, who know the stories, and more importantly, know the lessons to bring home from the mountains. (Hope to see you guys soon!) Rick Ridgeway February 11, 2001". Combining gripping adventure writing with intimate memoir, Rick Ridgeway takes readers to the mysterious mountain domain of Tibet, and into the remote corners of his past. Twenty years ago, in the wake of a massive and terrifying avalanche, Ridgeway cradled his dying friend Jonathan in his arms and pledged to keep watch over Jonathan's infant daughter, Asia. Now Asia is a vibrant, headstrong young woman; hoping to help her connect with the father she never knew, Ridgeway takes her to the Himalayas Jonathan so cherished. Together, they search for the place where he died. Rick Ridgeway (born August 12, 1949) is an American mountaineer and adventurer, who during his career has also been an environmentalist, writer, filmmaker and businessman. Ridgeway started his mountaineering career in the late '60s and early '70s, making first ascents and new routes on a series of expeditions to the Peruvian Andes. In 1976 he joined the American Bicentennial Everest Expedition, and that led to joining the 1978 expedition to K2. Ridgeway and his three teammates were the first Americans to summit K2, the world's second highest mountain (8,611 m/28,251 ft) located in the Karakoram range. On September 6, 1978, Jim Wickwire and Louis Reichardt reached the summit of K2 via the Abruzzi Spur. The following day, Rick Ridgeway and John Roskelley abandoned a direct finish on the NE Ridge, and traversed under the summit pyramid to reach the summit via the Abruzzi finish. Ridgeway, Roskelley and Reichardt accomplished the feat without the use of supplemental oxygen. In the early '80s Ridgeway joined the original Seven Summits expeditions, and also began to explore little known regions ? making the first direct coast-to-coast traverse of Borneo, and exploring remote regions from the Amazon to Antarctica. Ridgeway's writing has been recognized by American Alpine Club with a Halprin Award for Best Writing. His films have also won awards, including the Golden Eagle Award (1981), the Robert F. Kennedy Award (1983), and an Emmy (Everest, 1983). In 2008, National Geographic recognized Rick?s career contributions to adventure and exploration with its ?Lifetime Achievement in Adventure? award.
