It is an extraordinarily dangerous and difficult climb, and yet Alex was going to do it 'free solo'. Meaning no help. No partner. No equipment. No rope. Where a single small mistake would mean certain death. Indeed, to summit El Cap free solo was a feat likened to Neil Armstrong first walking on the moon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Alex plots, rehearses and ultimately attempts his heart-stopping ascent, Mark also shares his own personal history of climbing, filled with triumphs, defeats and dilemmas, in this deeply reported, inspiring exhortation to live life to the fullest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Synnott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64839316341085,"sku":"9781760632731","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1074\/9358\/9341\/files\/9781760632731.jpg?v=1780057999","url":"https:\/\/adventureintobooks.co.uk\/products\/9781760632731","provider":"Adventure Into Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
