On the Ridge Between Life and Death: A Climbing Life ReexaminedWhat compels mountain climbers to take the risks that they do? Is it the thrill in the physical accomplishment, in managing to defy the odds, or both and why do they continue to do what they do in the face of such great danger?

What compels mountain climbers to take the risks that they do? Is it the thrill in the physical accomplishment, in managing to defy the odds, or both--and why do they continue to do what they do in the face of such great danger? What compels mountain climbers to take the risks that they do? Is it the thrill in the physical accomplishment, in managing to defy the odds, or both--and why do they continue to do what they do in the face of such great danger? In On the Ridge Between Life and Death, David Roberts confronts these questions head-on as he recounts the exhilarating highs and desperate lows of his climbing career. By the time he was twenty-two, Roberts had already been involved in three fatal mountain climbing accidents and had escaped death himself by the sheerest of luck. And yet, as he acknowledges, few things have brought him more joy than climbing. In a famous essay on the subject written more than twenty years ago, Roberts judged climbing to be "worth the risk." He continues to climb to this day, and several of his challenging routes in Alaska have never been climbed since. But in reassessing the emotional costs to himself and to loved ones, he reaches a different conclusion, one that is sure to cause controversy not only in climbing circles, but among adventurers of all kinds. Candid and unflinching, On the Ridge Between Life and Death is a compelling examination of the risks we take in order to feel more alive.Binding Type: Paperback

Decent
Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7", Color: Dark Brown, Size: 15.7"
Instructions aren’t very clear. Takes a bit to figure out. Pretty cheap quality, but seems to be sturdy. The metal basket part of ours came rather bent and had to do some bending to get it to fit right. Decent size could be little thicker. They look good though once up.

Super
Color: Black - 7 Pcs, Color: Black - 7 Pcs
Super easy to install. I only used the heavy duty double sided tape. I didn’t drill holes in my wall. The wall shelf is plastic, durable material. They are the perfect size for my perfume display. They look amazing on my wall. I purchased this 2xs because they look amazing and they are well made.

Easy install and looks great!
Color: Black - 7 Pcs, Color: Black - 7 Pcs
Love these small floating shelves! Bought them to display mug collections in our new home. They were easy to install with the included installation template. I used the screws instead, and the shelves are much sturdier. I added black adhesive felt to keep mugs from sliding off. Not only do they look great, but the price of less than $20 for 7 in a pack was awesome. Will be buying more of these. Very highly recommended.
