content: Great story, so-so writing. Worth a read though after you'd read "Into Thin Air" and "The Climb", etc. I won't spoil it for anybody, but poor Frank. Can you believe his wife gave him that ultimatum about returning to a certian VERY high peak?Anyway, the only thing about the climbs that the author fails to communicate is how difficult they were. It sounded like other than being a logistical nightmare the peaks themselves were otherwise easily attainable (except for the one in Austrailia which is actually very easy)
