Mountaineering Book Review: Andy Kirkpatrick's Psychovertical

Publisher's Book Description

As one of the world's most accomplished mountaineers and big-wall climbers, Andy Kirkpatrick goes vertically where other climbers (to say nothing of the general public) fear to tread. For the first time this cult hero of vertical rock has written a book, in which his thirteen-day ascent of Reticent Wall on El Capitan in California frames a challenging autobiography.
