I really enjoyed the stories of his hiking; as I've hiked in a lot of the same areas; but the book was definitely in need of better editing. The stories were interesting; but the jumping around wasn't finessed enough; and got distracting. There were also random details that didn't need to be included and that weren't followed through with (his friends wanting him to go visit geishas with them; etc.) that just distracted from the theme. All in all; I'm glad I read it; but wish it had more experienced editing.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. CharacterBy CustomerThe author's ability to weave his memories in and out while on his various hiking excursions is quite unique. How many times have we experienced similar situation where certain events will recall past events; (good and bad).Past events (good or bad) shape our character; and in this book; it is quite obvious the events leading to; during and after WWII have shaped the authors character to never give up. Good book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Whitney is powerfulBy mareliAfter having climbed Whitney twice recently with each of my two daughters; I have an emotional tie to Whitney. This man's story is also an emotional testament to the power of this mountain.
