Versante Sud La Sottile Linea Bianca mountaineering novel

The Thin White Line by Andy Cave is the powerful sequel to "Learning to Breathe", an inner journey that begins where tragedy ends, with Cave's return from the Himalayas in 1997 after losing his climbing partner on the north face of Changabang. This book chronicles a deep crisis and a difficult rebirth, an exploration of the will and courage needed to face extreme mountaineering again when death has looked you in the eye, taking the reader from the peaks of Patagonia to the fjords of Norway to the wild expanses of Alaska. With vivid storytelling that does not hide the suffering but exalts the joys of a sport lived on the edge, Cave presents us with unforgettable characters and pioneers of adventure, leading to a dramatic finale that shakes the foundations of our deepest human beliefs.
