I've climbed and hurdled proverbially challenging "mountains" throughout my nearly-forgotten past in both the literal and figurative senses of the word. There are requirements and steps that need to be sorted out before, during, and after each of those experiences. There's nothing substantial that I could say about my present self's accomplishments, yet what I'm definite about is that I admire those who are able to transform life's adversities into moments of triumph. Thank you for your insightful and thorough review!

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I almost wanted to go out and start climbing mountains myself. I like the subtle humor that was throughout the book, like the meetings at the airports. :)

This sounds similar in concept to the book I read by Eytan Uliel called Man Mission. I loved the journeys to physical places along with the growth of being portrayed. I'll keep an eye out for this one. Thank you for a great review.

It seems like you've really enjoyed the book. I am planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru if God blesses me with the resources. I surely loved your review.

This review reminds me of the book Man Mission somewhat. I love how the author uses mountain climbing as a way to describe the challenges in life. When put into a different perspective, one can enjoy and celebrate in life's achievements. Thanks for a great review! :)

Even though mountain climbing is not something that I am familiar with, I am glad that the author wrote a book that everyone can relate to. Great job on your review! :)
