David J Mauro

This memoir of David J Mauro, a Seven Summiter, makes for a thrilling reading. Starting from the point where he was a recently divorced middle-aged man with almost nothing to look forward to in life, the journals trace his journey as he went on to become an ace mountaineer, summiting the highest peaks of all seven continents of the world.
The writing is simple, honest and fast paced. The details of the peaks and what goes into climbing them have been presented in an engaging manner. Described also are the thoughts and emotions a mountaineer feels while following the irresistible call of the mountains.
I hugely enjoyed the enthralling account of Mauro's journeys and his mountains.… (meer)
