Title: Save your money...
Review: Disappointing. An egotistic account of Wickwire's climbing career that is poorly titled and thinly written. While it is hard to argue that Wickwire is a top notch alpinist, this fact doesn't result in quality writing or insight. I became quickly annoyed at the condescending tone at other climbers and the constant abandonment of family. Though leaving family and friends for long periods of time on expeditions is hardly uncommon, Wickwire made it seem to easy. No lengthy mention is made of any hardship on his family - were they "Addicted to Stress"? The writing concerning his climbs wasn't bad, but better mountaineering stories can be found elsewhere - look for Greg Child, Krakauer, Art Davidson. It is funny that Lou Whitaker figures so prominently in many of the climbs, this book reminded me of his "I am great" memoir of a few years ago.
