About this title

Review:

"It is the soul of the climber at timberline that holds his interest. Reid believes we can find our way home, back to our roots, by visiting mountains and wilderness. Blending facts and his emotions, the author beautifully and passionately describes his experiences on the slopes and the residue from each. . . . A better guide than Reid would be hard to find." "Wonderfully fluent, even visionary. . . . Part meditation, part adventure tale, part thoughtful investigation. . . . From a moving essay on the last wolf trapped in Colorado, to an explanation of sound, to a dizzying and horrifying short-order history of our quickly ravaged continent and a thoughtful religious debate, Robert Leonard Reid has assembled a book that is wide-ranging yet conciseand joyously coherent."
