Where the Mountain Casts Its Shadow: The Dark Side of Extreme Adventure

by Maria Coffey, Tom Hornbein (Foreword by)

About this title: Drawing on interviews with many leading mountaineers or their survivors, Coffey goes beyond the typical climbing book to question the reasons why climbers risk their lives. The result is a powerful, affecting book that strips the romance from adventure and returns it to the human realm: the parents, spouses, children, and partners of climbers who until now have maintained their code of silence. Interviewees include Jim Wickwire, Conrad Anker, Joe Simpson, Chris Bonington, Ed Viesturs and others.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
