    I was quite taken by the fact that mountain-climber could be such an excellent writer...I just didn't expect it! I became solidly immersed in this horrific account of the author's harrowing ascent in the Pervuian Andes. His recounting of the torturous trip grabbed me from the start and propelled me through the book in two nights! Truly a fascinating read.
