Description

Seven Summits: The Ultimate Mountaineering Quest

Seven Summits chronicles the extraordinary true story of two successful men who abandoned their comfortable lives to pursue an audacious dream: becoming the first to climb the highest mountain on each of the seven continents.

Two Undaunted Men

Frank Wells was the head of a major motion picture studio. Dick Bass had made his fortune as an energy and resort entrepreneur. In middle age, both men left behind home, family, and successful careers to share an impossible dream.

Seven Unconquered Summits

The challenge: be the first to climb the highest mountain on each of seven continents, from McKinley to Kilimanjaro to Everest. The obstacles: many and merciless, from ice storms to illness to a measurement question that threatened to make their record-breaking expedition a sham. The prize: the sheer, exhilarating triumph of standing at the top of every continent on earth.

An Inspiring Adventure Narrative

Written by Rick Ridgeway, this gripping account captures the determination, setbacks, and ultimate triumphs of Bass and Wells as they tackled some of the world's most dangerous peaks. From the technical challenges of each ascent to the personal sacrifices required, Seven Summits offers readers an intimate look at what drives people to test their limits against nature's most formidable obstacles.

Perfect for Adventure Enthusiasts

This paperback edition from Grand Central Publishing appeals to mountaineering enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and anyone inspired by stories of human perseverance. Whether you're an experienced climber or an armchair adventurer, Seven Summits delivers an unforgettable journey through triumph and adversity at the world's highest elevations.

A Classic Mountaineering Tale

Published in November 1988, Seven Summits has become a definitive work in mountaineering literature, documenting a historic achievement that inspired countless climbers to pursue their own Seven Summits challenges. This is more than a climbing book—it's a testament to the power of friendship, determination, and the human spirit's capacity to overcome seemingly impossible odds.
