{"product_id":"high-exposure-david-breashears-9780684865454","title":"High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places","description":"For generations of resolute adventurers, from George Mallory to Sir Edmund Hillary to Jon Krakauer, Mount Everest and the world's other greatest peaks have provided the ultimate testing ground. But the question remains: Why climb? In High Exposure, elite mountaineer and acclaimed Everest filmmaker David Breashears answers with an intimate and captivating look at his life. For Breashears, climbing has never been a question of risk taking: 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 competitiveness on the heights to a frank description of the 1996 Everest tragedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Breashears\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0684865459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684865454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e45544 \/ High Exposure: An Enduring Passion for Everest and Unforgiving Places\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2000 pg. 1448\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/26\/2000 pg. 65","brand":"David Breashears","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995568177407,"sku":"9780684865454","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05b44751-e020-415e-ab94-7bbe8baf5dcb.jpg?v=1683336556","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/high-exposure-david-breashears-9780684865454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
