I have absolutely zero knowledge on mountain climbing, hiking, or even nature.  I hate the cold.  And I’m afraid of heights.  Diving into this book was fun, because I learned so much.  I really like the official terms used.  I have no clue what any of it is but it’s adventurous and I like it.  I love that the author drew inspiration from her own experiences.  I’m just gonna say it: AMY MCCULLOCH IS A BADASS!  This made me want to watch mountain climbing documentaries to learn more!  This book was tense and so interesting.  It’s a bit of a slow burn and more suspense than thriller, but I really enjoyed it.  Catch me watching some climbing documentaries now!  I highly recommended this if you’re looking for a suspenseful vibe.
