The Old Man and the Wasteland

by Nick Cole

The Push: A Climber’s Journey of Endurance, Risk, and Going Beyond Limits

by Tommy Caldwell

Gripping! Seriously. Written for the general (non-climbing) reader as well as the enthusiast, it contains enough honest revelation and self-scrutiny to make it engaging. The experience of being taken hostage in Kyrgyzstan as a youngster …
