David Brill discusses and signs Desire & Ice: Searching for Perspective Atop Denali
What happens when an ordinary person—a middle-aged man with limited mountain-climbing experience—undertakes the extraordinary challenge of scaling the highest peak on the North American continent? The inspiring outcome is recounted in Desire & Ice: Searching for Perspective atop Denali in which Tennessean David Brill describes his unlikely triumph atop Alaska’s 20,320-foot-high Denali, also known as Mount McKinley. Before he could summit the mountain, Brill had to overcome altitude sickness, temperatures that plunged to 40 degrees below zero, a storm that trapped him in his tent for eight days at 14,200 feet, and a close encounter with a crevasse. Far more than just another testosterone-fueled climbing book, Desire & Ice overflows with vivid personalities, unexpected events, and Brill's self-deprecating wit.
