city, mountain, endurance

the ar­ro­gance of peo­ple who will die a lit­tle death in rush hour traffic 

or fat­ty foods while star­ing at the com­put­er screen 

while slave to a desk and chair judg­ing those on the mountain

i am reread­ing and dis­cov­er­ing new tales of fac­ing death and challenges 

that city types will nev­er com­pre­hend in their stupor
 

Buried in the Sky by Pe­ter Zuk­er­man and Aman­da Padoan
FIND IN LI­BRARY    BUY    AU­THOR AU­THOR   
In Au­gust 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dan­ger­ous peak, two Sher­pas sur­vived. They had emerged from pover­ty and po­lit­i­cal tur­moil to be­come two of the most skill­ful moun­taineers on earth … At once a grip­ping, white-knuck­led ad­ven­ture and a rich ex­plo­ration of Sher­pa cus­toms and cul­ture, Buried in the Sky re-cre­ates one of the most dra­mat­ic cat­a­stro­phes in alpine history.

What Doesn’t Kill Us by Scott Carney
FIND IN LI­BRARY    BUY    AU­THOR   
What Does­n’t Kill Us un­cov­ers how just about any­one can re­claim a mea­sure of our species’ evo­lu­tion­ary strength by tap­ping into the things that feel un­com­fort­able. When we slight­ly reimag­ine how our body fits into the world, we can con­di­tion our­selves to find re­silience in un­fa­mil­iar environments.

Be­yond The Moun­tain by Steve House
FIND IN LI­BRARY    BUY    AU­THOR   
Be­yond the Moun­tain is a grip­ping read des­tined to be a moun­tain clas­sic. And it ad­dress­es many is­sues com­mon to non­climb­ing life – men­tor­ship, trust, fail­ure suc­cess, goal set­ting, he­roes, part­ner­ship – as well as the mountaineer’s height­ened ex­pe­ri­ence of risk and the deaths of friends.
