Blaine Langberg: Conquering Whitney, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Married and middle-aged Jacob Silverstein appears to have everything he wants in life: his health, a loving family, and a successful orthodontic practice. But when his best friend invites him to climb Mt. Whitney in California, Jacob's old demons resurface. Fighting his anxiety and lack of self-confidence, he sets out on the physically and emotionally challenging hike up the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States. As Jacob tries to conquer this punishing 14, 500-foot climb, he finds the greatest struggle is defeating the voice of his fatalistic inner child.

Conquering Whitney: A Mountain of Misadventure is a rollicking mix of travel narrative, humor, and a search for self-discovery. Jacob's inspirational odyssey is set against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery, burgeoning friendships, raving raptors, and an epic hunt for ice cream sandwiches- truly something to satisfy every appetite!
