What is it like to have conquered the world's seven tallest summits? Findout in "Blind Corners," Geoff Tabin's fascinating book on his quest to find the ultimate adventure. Travel with Tabin across seven continents as he takes readers to various countries around the world, including Nepal, where he begins his ascent up the most challenging mountain of all -- Everest.

Expand description
Filled with suspense, candor, keen insights, and mischievous humor, "Blind Corners" conveys both the terror and exhilaration of nature's greatest challenges. From the world's first bungee jump to the peak of Mt. Everest, Tabin lays out his philosophy of climbing, offers tips on keeping adventure in one's life after having realized dream goals, and warns against the dangers of guided expeditions on perilous climbs, which by now have become routine.
More than just a book on climbing the highest peaks of the world, "Blind Corners" is a richly detailed chronicle of adventure, comradeship, and inner strength.
