Beyond the Mountain

In September 2009, with Patagonia Books, I published Beyond the Mountain.

Beyond the Mountain is comprised of stories spanning 18 years of my climbing and personal life. The book starts with the dramatic tale of attempting the 13,500-foot (4,100 meter) high Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat (26,660’, 8125m) and ends with the story of my ultimate success on that great mountain. That 2004 climb drove me to re-examine the highs and lows of life as experienced by a man who has set out to become the best alpinist and climber he can become. The chapters between the first and last document that journey.

I set out to build an honest, unflinching book and for this I have been rewarded. The book is doing well; it’s had multiple printings in the US, UK, and German. As of autumn 2011 the book is available in four languages in the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, and Italy.

An Award-winning book.
Beyond the Mountain won the Mountain Literature Award at the Banff Mountain Book Festival and the UK’s Boardman-Tasker Prize. The book is available directly from me, or from any number of booksellers including Patagonia.com and Amazon.com where Beyond the Mountain maintains a 5-star rating by it’s readers.
