The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!
The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Riveting transformation through extreme alpine ascents.
Imagine the thrill of conquering sheer, icy cliffs and the deep satisfaction of overcoming not just physical summits but also personal hurdles of poverty and doubt. Barry Blanchard's memoir doesn't just chart his ascents but also the soaring determination that propelled him from a tough beginning to the peaks of the world. It's raw, it's real, and it's a vivid journey through the rebellious beats of punk and the relentless call of the wild.
