New York Times-bestselling author Kate Messner presents a daring game of one-upmanship that pushed the sport of rock climbing to new heights during the Golden Age of Yosemite climbing.

Royal Robbins and Warren Harding were two wildly different men who loved the challenge posed by big walls of granite--some that had never been climbed! They paired up to attempt an epic climb on Half Dome. When they didn't make it to the top, they went their separate ways and soon became fierce rivals, racking up first ascents around Yosemite Valley.
