My Old Man and the Mountain tells the story of Leif Whittaker following in his father's footsteps to the summit of Mount Everest (Leif's father Jim Whittaker was the first American at the top of the Earth). It's been extraordinarily well received, having made the PNBA Bestseller List and been named one of "The Top Ten Adventure Books of the Year." It's a great read worthy of throwing in the hatch on your next trip.
"Whittaker writes as he climbs mountains, with courage, grace, and a dash of humility. The result is an utterly compelling tale of a young man who bravely tackles two great challenges--one made of rock and ice and one made of doubts and fears. Its's a great read." --Daniel James Brown, author of The Boys in the Boat.
