In 1965, four Harvard students set out to conquer the untouched western face of Mt. Huntington, Alaska's "hidden prize." *The Mountain of My Fear* recounts their daring first ascent, a feat previously deemed impossible. Told from the perspective of one of the climbers, David Roberts, the book captures the intense physical and emotional challenges of mountaineering, exploring the age-old question of why humans seek to conquer nature's greatest obstacles.
However, the expedition takes a tragic turn during their descent when one of the climbers falls to his death. The narrative transforms into a powerful exploration of grief, fear, and the enduring bonds forged in the face of extreme adversity. This is a story of triumph shadowed by loss, offering a raw and honest look at the human spirit.
