About Why We Climb: The World's Most Inspiring Climbers
Product Description Why We Climb is a celebration, in word and image, of those aspects of the climbing life that are most universal, meaningful, and long lasting— the strong connection to partners and nature; the physical and mental mastery required (and how to achieve it); the rewards of exploring oneself and the world through climbing. Through interviews with some of North America’s most notable climbers the book undertakes a quest to find the soul of climbing— asking what compels men and women to dedicate their lives to the challenges and deprivations of living in a vertical world? What are the sacrifices and what are the rewards? And most importantly, can the lessons learned on cliff faces, frozen waterfalls, and alpine peaks— lessons of respect, discipline, commitment, humility and simplicity—be brought home and used to benefit society as a whole? Review "Why We Climb shows in clear and simple terms why risk and adventure—embracing the big unknown—is the spark that lights our lives on fire. Without adventure, we’d never build pyramids or shoot for the stars. Without risk, we're all just biding time...” —John Long, climbing legend and bestselling author of How to Rock Climb! "Chris Noble’s essays on why people climb are as fascinating as they are varied. From 'living intentionally high above the ground' to following a chosen path that leads to 'a life of coherence, integrity and purpose,' there is much to inspire, not only for climbers, but for anyone interested in creating a life of boldness and grace." —Bernadette McDonald, author of Freedom Climbers and Alpine Warriors About the Author Recognized as one of the world’s leading adventure photographers, Chris Noble is a writer and visual communicator whose work celebrates the beauty of nature, and inspires people to live healthier, more mindful, and sustainable lives.
