Publisher's description:

An account of Yeates' ascent of one of the world's largest vertical rock faces, the 4,000 foot Central Tower of Paine in Chile. The greatest difficulties come not from the elements but from within themselves; crippled with fear the team is forced into a retreat but after resting return to complete the climb.
