 stock image, actual book may vary For generations of resolute adventurers, from George Mallory to Sir Edmund Hillary, Tenzing Norgay to Jon Krakauer, Mount Everest and the world's greatest peaks have provided the ultimate testing ground. As the world's fascination with mountaineering reaches a fever pitch, the question remains: Why climb? In High Exposure, elite mountaineer and acclaimed filmmaker David Breashears answers with an intimate and captivating look at his life. Breashears's passion for climbing began on the cliffs of Boulder, Colorado -- and nearly ended on the south side of Everest in 1996. From childhood, Breashears felt irresistibly drawn to the Himalayas' promise of adventure and unforgiving demands on body, mind, and soul. Readers learn of his turbulent early years and his training on the rock before he was dubbed the Kloberdanz Kid. While most American teens were reveling in the recklessness of the seventies, Breashears indulged in a potent mixture of discipline, passion, and drive to pioneer the improbable Perilous Journey in Colorado, ascend Half Dome in Yosemite, and attempt Everest's unclimbed Kangshung Face in Tibet. Along the way, the intense young man apprenticed on film shoots and gradually took to the camera himself, relishing its physical and artistic demands. He was soon consumed with capturing on film the unsurpassed beauty and profound human experience he witnessed as a climber. That he would someday film at the top of the world with a forty-two-pound camera during the Everest IMAX Filming Expedition surprised no one who knew him: He was always looking to the next challenge, his eyes on the highest horizons. For David Breashears, climbing has never been a question of bravery: Rather, it is the pursuit of excellence and a quest for self-knowledge. Danger comes, he argues, when ambition blinds reason. The stories this world-class climber and great adventurer tells will surprise you. From discussions of egotism and competitiveness on the heights -- despite the brotherhood of the rope -- to a frank description of mistakes made during the 1996 Everest tragedy, this personal history goes beyond Mallory's famous quip "Because it's there" to find meaning and hope at the top of the world.

 stock image, actual book may vary It is extraordinary for a woman to receive a breast cancer diagnosis, go through treatment, and survive to tell the story. But to then celebrate survival by embarking on a grueling mountain climb? That takes a truly remarkable woman. Climb Against the Odds documents the inspiring story of a group of such women who joined The Breast Cancer Fund to raise awareness and money for the fight against breast cancer by endeavoring to climb some of the worlds most daunting peaks. They climbed Mt. Acongagua 23,000 feet , Mt. McKinley 20,300 feet , and Mt. Fuji 12,389 feet , putting their post-cancer bodies and their indomitable spirits through a journey that changed them all. Featuring compelling interviews, joyful photographs, resources, and information about the struggle against breast cancer, Climb Against the Odds is timed to release with The Breast Cancer Funds fourth mountain climb, held on the 14,162-foor volcanic peak of Mt. Shasta. The thrill of scaling impossible mountains, the triumph of beating a lethal disease, and the anguish of losing loved ones come together in this amazing journey of grace over mountains metaphoric and real.

 stock image, actual book may vary Since the first successful ascent of everest 50 years ago, many others have attempted the daunting summit, and many have succeeded. But, though everest can be climbed, it cannot be conquered. Few know this as well as david breashears. A filmmaker and veteran climber of the himalaya, breashears agreed to lead the may 1996 expedition that would capture everest in a large-format imax motion picture. Even in the best conditions, breashears knew, everest is a dangerous challenge-that may, an unexpected blizzard proved how deadly it could be. Shocking the world, the storm claimed the lives of eight climbers, including two of the world's top expedition leaders. Everest is the breathtaking chronicle of a filmmaking expedition turned rescue mission, and of the courage and cooperation of breashears and his team as they rose to the life or death challenge. A companion to breashears's record-grossing large-format film, everest features an introduction by outside magazine editor-at-large tim cahill, an afterword by david breashears, and 125 stunning, full-color images, including imax frames from the film. Editorial reviews bringing an understated yet powerful buddhist sherpa ethical perspective to the tragedy on everest chronicled in jon krakauer's into thin air, coburn reports on the imax film crew who participated in the rescue effort when the may 1996 expeditions led by guides rob hall and scott fischer ended in death and crippling injury. Charged with the daunting task of capturing everest on panoramic imax film and packing video equipment along with the cumbersome, specially made imax camera, expedition leader david breashears made the moral choice to join the rescue rather than film the tragedy for the nightly news. Nonetheless, breashears's team, which included the american-educated sherpa jamling tenzing norgay, whose father reached the summit of everest with sir edmund hillary in 1953, went on to make cinematic history.
