Book Reviews of Cita en la Cumbre (Spanish Edition)
Book Review: A lesson on responsible though passionate living
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just arrived from El Chaltén I felt as traveling there again, so vivid and precise are the author's descriptions of the Fitz Roy area.
But better and unexpected was the candid exposure of the feelings, doubts, fears and joys before, during and after each of Sebastian's achievments in the beautiful and still pristine mountains of Patagonia.
Summary of Cita en la Cumbre (Spanish Edition)
Cita en la Cumbre describes an adventure. An adventure that begins and ends in Patagonia and that, to a large extent, takes place in that part of the world. The adventure is a life lived under the influx of mountains. Sometimes on their slopes, sometimes looking at them from afar, but always thinking of them. I began writing the book when, close to turning forty years old, I decided to try again to climb Mt. Fitz Roy, that magnificent sculpture in the Patagonian Andes. I wanted to explain why someone at that age, content with his life, would want to do so. I did not want to write a biography, although the result is biographical. I wanted it to be more than that the story of an expedition. There are plenty of those and, even if I climbed Fitz Roy, that sole event would not justify another book. The work should explore and elaborate the thoughts that exist in every mountaineer s mind. I hope for this book that, when someone asks me What for? or Still with that? I ll be able to answer by giving him a copy, with no need for words.Travel Books
