In part two of his gripping autobiography, world-class climber
Gerry Roach continues his action-packed tales of mountaineering
around the world. His stories are laced with a hard-edged reality
that is tempered by his spiritual growth. "Ride the Breath" follows
his continuing quests, picking up where his first book
"Transcendent Summits" ends. This candid memoir takes you to some
of Earth's most captivating peaks and lands: the Tetons, the North
Cascades, the Canadian Rockies and Yukon, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru,
the Antarctic, Rainier, Iceland, Norway, the Alps, Africa's fabled
Kilimanjaro, the Australian outback, Tasmania, New Zealand, and
Hawaii. In each of these stories Gerry better defines the edges
between risk and reward, lust and loss, dreamtime and terrortime,
and perhaps most importantly, transcendence and transgression.
Gerry has a unique ability to take his readers into the mountains
with him and hold them on multiple belays. In the end, the life
lessons learned transcend his climbs, allowing Gerry to include his
readers on his climb for peace, which becomes an every-growing
Odyssean exploration.
