I devoured this book. Not only is Lynn Hill an incredible climber (the first to free the Nose on El Cap in 1993) she has a talent for sharing her story in a profound and inspiring way. She is a world famous climber, but I can still relate to the way she describes her relationship with climbing, the desire to push yourself further and find yourself in harmony with the wall.
