This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I've noticed all the outdoor activities you enjoy, like cycling, skiing, and mountain climbing," my son's coworker told him. "You must be really glad that you had a dad who would take you out and teach you all those things." My son laughed. "It wasn't my dad. It was my mom!" Judy Schafer's love for the outdoors bloomed during her Montana childhood-those early trips into the mountains with her parents kindled a lifelong craving for the wilderness, culminating in more than a dozen attempts to summit Washington state's Mount Rainier, seven of them successful. On each climb, as Judy faced down the dangers of this massive peak, her awe and respect for the mountain grew. Determined to provide her two sons, Tim and Kris, with the same childhood experience in the outdoors, she started them young, hitting the trail with them as soon as they could carry a pack. Together, they've spent many years adventuring through forests and peaks. Amid the natural beauty of their trips-sometimes overcoming physical challenges, personal obstacles, and injury-their bond deepened as the boys grew up and they pursued their goal of summiting Mount Rainier together. This collection of tales shares the outdoor journeys of Judy and her sons, exploring the thrilling ups and downs, the fascinating details, and the risks and rewards of a life lived on the trails and above the clouds. From rocky starts to incredible heights, they do it together-at the guidance, of course, of one tough woman.

Download or read book The Ledge written by Jim Davidson and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-07-26 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The authors bring extreme climbing to life. . . . Perhaps no author can rationalize why some choose to risk their lives . . . for the thrill of conquering a mountain. The Ledge comes perilously close and tells a ripping true story at the same time.”—The Denver Post In June 1992, best friends Jim Davidson and Mike Price stood atop Washington’s Mount Rainier, celebrating what they hoped would be the first of many milestones in their lives as passionate mountaineers. Then their triumph turned tragic when a cave-in plunged them deep inside a glacial crevasse—the pitch-black, ice-walled hell of every climber’s nightmares. An avid adventurer since youth, Davidson was a seasoned climber at the time of the Rainier ascent. But the harrowing free fall left him challenged by nature’s grandeur at its most unforgiving. Trapped on a narrow frozen shelf, deep below daylight, he desperately battled crumbling ice, snow that threatened to bury him alive, and crippling fear of the inescapable chasm below—all the while struggling to save his fatally injured friend. Finally, alone, with little equipment and rapidly dwindling hope, he confronted a fateful choice: the certainty of a slow, lonely death or the near impossibility of an agonizing climb for life. A story of heart-stopping adventure, heartfelt friendship, fleeting mortality, and implacable nature, The Ledge chronicles the elation and grief, dizzying heights and punishing depths, of a journey to hard-won wisdom. “Plunges readers into a dark, icy chasm from which escape seems impossible. Then it reveals the strength it takes to look up, and to start climbing.”—Jim Sheeler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the National Book Award finalist Final Salute “How [Davidson] rescued himself is the core of The Ledge, and its most gripping part. The physical effort and will involved are astonishing.”—The Plain Dealer “A moving portrait of friendship and loss.”—The Wall Street Journal
