This gripping and triumphant memoir from the author of The Mountain follows a living legend of extreme mountaineering as he makes his assault on history, one 8,000-meter summit at a time. For eighteen years Ed Viesturs pursued climbing's holy grail: to stand atop the world's fourteen 8,000-meter peaks, without the aid of bottled oxygen. But No Shortcuts to the Top is as much about the man who would become the first American to achieve that goal as it is about his stunning quest. As Viesturs recounts the stories of his most harrowing climbs, he reveals a man torn between the flat, safe world he and his loved ones share and the majestic and deadly places where only he can go. A preternaturally cautious climber who once turned back 300 feet from the top of Everest but who would not shrink from a peak (Annapurna) known to claim the life of one climber for every two who reached its summit, Viesturs lives by an unyielding motto, "Reaching the summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory." It is with this philosophy that he vividly describes fatal errors in judgment made by his fellow climbers as well as a few of his own close calls and gallant rescues. And, for the first time, he details his own pivotal and heroic role in the 1996 Everest disaster made famous in Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air. In addition to the raw excitement of Viesturs's odyssey, No Shortcuts to the Top is leavened with many funny moments revealing the camaraderie between climbers. It is more than the first full account of one of the staggering accomplishments of our time; it is a portrait of a brave and devoted family man and his beliefs that shaped this most perilous and magnificent pursuit.Binding Type: Paperback

LOVE these shirts, came back and bought more!
These shirts look SO good. I am a senior manager in a large corporation so have to dress nice every day. I loved the first one of these shirts so much I came back and have now bought 15 of them in different colors. Basically, these are now all I wear. Buy yourself 15 bamboo undershirts with the V neck (you don't want the layered look with dress shirts, you want the V neck so you can't see the undershirt), half in white and half in black to wear under these and you are set. GUYS.....WHEN YOU FIRST BUY THESE YOU MUST IRON THEM. I see the pics of people wearing them here, and you can still see the fold lines from being packaged and that looks terrible. Washing alone won't get rid of the fold lines. Get your iron and set it for POLYESTER which is a lower heat setting. If you set it hot, it will melt the shirt. But set it for polyester and the lines iron out VERY easily and fast. You only have to do this when you first buy them. I've never had to iron any of them again after the first time. They are very wrinkle resistant! I HATE my cotton dress shirts now. These Coofandy shirts STRETCH like crazy! You can bend and reach for things no problem. I'm able to wear all of these with Chinos, dress slacks AND jeans so they are incredibly versitile! My wife and my girlfriend both (joking!) love how soft the shirt feels on me. I have to wear these shirts every day and own enough so I can do laundry once every other week and so far all the shirts have been very durable with no tears, rips, any problems at all. They all still look new.

Must iron first before wearing. Then wrinkle free.
The fit is perfect. The material is quite nice. The only problem would be they are hard to de-wrinkle from original packaging. I’ve washed my shirt several times and it’s still showing the creases. The only way to get rid of them is to launder them or iron them. I think once this occurs, they remain wrinkle free for a while. This is the third of the exact same shirt I got in different colors.

Nice quality shirt
Color: Purple, Size: XX-Large
Nice material and fit is accurate. However shirts are rolled up in a tube, so if you need to wear the shirt the day you receive it be prepared to iron it!

Calidad de las camisas
Color: A White, Size: Medium
I had already bought one shirt, so this time I bought two more. The light blue one is the same quality as the one I bought the first time. But the white one wasn't the same quality. It was also a different shade of white. They should try to maintain consistent quality across the board.
