"In his autobiography, world-class climber Gerry Roach tells an action-packed tale of self-discovery and spiritual growth lace with hard-edged reality. This candid memoir revisits boyhood ambitions and a man's ascents on some of the most captivating peaks: the Third Flatiron, Longs Peak, the Grand Teton, the Mexican Volcanoes, Ship Rock, T2 in Eldorado Canyon, Denali, and Rainier. Each of these memories reveals Gerry's passion for the ultimate experience and an ability to bring his readers on belay."--Jacket.
