“Next to "The Complete Walker", this is my favorite mountaineering book. The story of Dick Bass and Frank Wells to become the first people to summit the highest mountain on each continent is an amazing story. Also, since Dick Bass was solidly in his 50's when the story starts and Frank Wells had never climbed a real mountain, it is even a better story. After reading this book, I had the pleasure to meet Dick Bass - and he is clearly a modern "man's man" and I salute his ability to accomplish his goals. Even if you don't climb mountains, this is a great read.”
