Die Trying

Meer over het boek

In early 2003, a young Wall Street investment banker named Bo Parfet set out to accomplish something very few people had done before- climbing the highest mountain on every continent. What began as a casual interest would soon become a lifelong passion and in just over four years, Bo would overcome the odds and conquer all of the mountains- Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Denali, Vinson Massif, Elbrus, Carstenz Pyramid, Kosciuskp, and Everest- with courage, unbridled passion, and determination. From dodging avalanches to crossing a ladder over a seemingly bottomless crevasse, to making his way through the Khumbu Icefall and burying a dead teammate at 27,000 feet, we experience all of the author's exhilarating, often terrifying climbs first-hand.
