Climb To Glory: The Adventures of Bill Hackett

Rating:
Summary: Quite the adventure
Review: Even though I'm not a climber, I have a great appreciation of the mountains. Bill Hackett was a man that packed a lot of life into his given time. The authors did a great job of sifting through a myriad of diaries, interviews and references to select events to help you get a sense of who Mr. Hackett was. Not only did he make mountaineering history, but had an edge that fully embraced being alive. I have also never known anyone who summitted a hotel (from the exterior). A very entertaining read.
