I have been climbing mountains for 9 years. Been there done that... first climbs, awesome views, friendship, more close calls than I can remember. Yes, I have explored caves and rafted mightly rivers and gone on a winter expedition to the Arctic. But climbing mountains is the most beautiful of them all. Very often people ask me why I climb. I have a very stressful and time-consuming job enclosed most of my days in a building working with computers, and friends tell me that vacation time is to go to a warm place to relax and recharge rather than going somewhere dangerous to get even more tired and stressed. How boring that seems to me. It is very hard to explain why I find climbing so wondeful... and so humbling. I like Joe Simpson's book not necessarily because of the great climbs he describes but rather because he makes a great job in writing about the fragility and the humility... and the awe, the passion, and the intensity with which we love. It is that which wraps a mountaineers heart. We don't believe we are supermen or immortal... we are not arrogant. This book may help non-mountaineers understand us better, and will allow us mountaineers see in written words things we know all too well in our hearts.
