Summary: If you are ever stuck in a tent.....
Review: When the author of this book was climbing Denali he and his party were stuck in an inevitable long storm and "John Christopher" kept the climbing party from going stir-crazy by reciting the wonderful verse from this book. In the vein of Robert Service, these poems in verse capture the beauty, the agony, the good times and bad of climbing big walls and sitting out big storms. "John" should know because he climbed 4 of the seven summits before his untimely death in 1997. If you like mountains, mountain climbing and wonderfully descriptive verse,get this book. Put it in your back pack. Because, as you know, you never know when you may be sitting there for days on end, staring at the ripstop and wishing you had something heroic to read.
