Such inspiring deeds. In so many places I was truly inspired by his navigation of difficult situations as well as his discipline. If he had been as disciplined in refraining from his need to dis others and employed the filter for mouth with as much stealth as his climbing gear, I would've given this book 4 stars. But I was so put off by his inappropriate comments about Chantel. Talking about his one night stand with a girl "everybody liked " even though she wanted to keep it "hush hush "felt a little like a high school boy bragging in the locker room, caring less that it's not just his story to tell and may not be public. I kept reading, but this kind of narcissism kept coming through loud and clear. If you really look up to this guy, don't read the book - it might change your perspective.
