'All I wanted to do was go to sleep. And I was certain that if I
did drift off, it would be for the last time.' In 1998, Paul
Pritchard was struck on the head by a falling rock as he climbed a
sea stack in Tasmania called the Totem Pole. Close to death,
waiting for hours for rescue, Pritchard kept himself going with a
promise that given the chance, he would 'at least attempt to live'.
Left hemiplegic by his injury, Pritchard has spent the last two
decades attempting to live, taking on adventures that seemed
impossible for someone so badly injured while plumbing the depths
of a mind almost snuffed out by his passion for climbing. Not
content to simply survive, Pritchard finds ways to return to his
old life, cycling across Tibet and expanding his mind on gruelling
meditation courses, revisiting the past and understanding his
compulsion for risk. Finally, he returns to climb the Totem Pole,
the place where his life was almost extinguished. The Mountain Path
is an adventure book like no other, an exploration of a healing
brain, a journey into philosophy and psychology, a test of will and
a triumph of hope.
