In this thrilling novel, we follow three young climbers from Yosemite as they trek into the remote backcountry of the High Sierras. Stoked with the vigor of optimism, they seek adventure, first ascents, and maybe a little glory. What they find is an unforgiving wilderness that forces them into confrontation, not only with each other, but with the harsh reality of nature itself. Under the stress of adversity and isolation, character flaws emerge, undermining the original high spirits and forging a disaster. What started as a lark becomes a procession into the labyrinth of despair. Within the frame of one of the most beautiful wild landscapes on the continent, the author lays bare the psychological complexities of endeavor, telling a memorable story of ambition, limits, and redemption.
