Recenzii

A genuine achievement in its own right . . . Caldwell's voice comes through clearly in passages of well crafted prose . . .The Pushis not simply a book about rock climbing
BOOK OF THE WEEK . . . heart-stopping, absorbing
The most daring free climber on the planet
The authenticity is compelling, the stories inspiring . . . impossible to put down.
Whilst undeniably a book about climbing, it manages to be more than that . . . Perhaps the most gripping moments in the book happen away from climbing altogether . . . One of the most insightful climbing books of recent times,The Pushcomes highly recommended.
Totally captivating . . . beautifully constructed and passionately written
Exquisitely detailed ...The Pushachieves the rarest of adventure reads: it thrills with colourful details of courage and perseverance but it enriches readers with an absolutely captivating glimpse of how a simple yet unwavering resolve can turn adversity into reward ... Caldwell is not just unflinchingly forthright inThe Push, but his writing flows with the grace that defines his climbing ... While Caldwell excels at vividly illuminating his exploits - descriptions of climbs, his awe of nature, the physical challenges - his writing shines brightest as he examines his inner life ... he shows that pursuing a life pursuing adventure should inspire anyone
You always know that Caldwell's going to make it to the top of that 3,000-foot hunk of Yosemite granite. The book's raw honesty helps it transcend the hackneyed sports-autobiography genre
