I fucking love this guy. So satisfying to see what happens when a talented and passionate journalist just gets to go wherever he wants and write as much as he wants about it. His excitement and passion for climbing really comes through and it was so fun to read. A few misses here and there…mainly the one that’s just a rant about how people are too quick to sue huge equipment manufacturers when they get hurt on a mountain due to neglect or the product malfunctioning …. I was not convinced … but other than that the investigative reporting was thorough and compassionate and the stories were all set up so well

So beautifully written that I almost gave it 5 stars anyway but ultimately just way way way too much for me sorry if I’m a weak bitch who can’t handle the dark twisted mind of a killer but I have to draw the line somewhere and I’m drawing it at Jeffrey dahmer fanfiction
