This true account of two people meeting and climbing the mountain that dominates Seattle and the upper U.S. Northwest evokes so many emotions and attitudes of the human spirit: adventure, challenge, danger, faith, fear, hope, near despair, persistence, resignation, respect and the sheer will to live. For anyone thinking about tackling any mountains in the world, the authors not only demonstrate the sheer faith, persistence and will that it takes to survive when confronting enormous challenges, they also humbly and unabashedly recount what not to do. A phenomenal read! -Amazon Customer

My book was delivered and I started reading and didn't put it down until I was finished! It was gripping and yet personable, almost as if reading someone's diary. Diane and Jared are two lucky (blessed), strong, determined young people and I am glad they continued to share their story on past the days of the climb where they met. It was amazing to have a love story, mixed in with a TRUE LIFE adventure. Maybe there will be more stories to tell in their future, hopefully none this frightening! -Amazon Customer
