Steve House, one of the world's most accomplished alpine climbers, offers a compelling meditation on what drives individuals to pursue extreme mountaineering and what happens when they step back from the edge. Through candid reflection on his groundbreaking ascents and near-fatal experiences in the world's most formidable ranges, he explores the psychological and physical costs of operating at the limits of human endurance.
This is more than a collection of climbing tales. It's an unflinching examination of ambition, identity, and transformation—asking what remains when the mountains that defined you are no longer central to your life. House's insights will resonate with anyone who has grappled with redefining themselves beyond a singular passion, making this essential reading for climbers and non-climbers alike.
