I just finished reading the wonderful 'No Shortcuts to the Top' by Ed Viesturs. This is his auto-biography covering his successful summitting of the worlds 14 8000 meter peaks without supplmental oxygen. I saw him interviewed on Charlie Rose a few weeks back and was excited about picking up the recently released book. Having done a fair amount of climbing in my past and considering taking up alpining, I was easily lured by the books focus. After reading the book I can say that it will be appreciated by anyone with an interest in adventure and exploration, as it is very well written and an exciting read.
