### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great book by one of the world's great athletes
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016*

A beautifully written book by an extraordinary athlete that anyone remotely interested in climbing--and many who aren't--will want to read (my wife, who gave climbing a game try but hated it, loved the book as much as I did).  Talk about a strong start--after a wonderful preface by John Long, Hill begins with the story of her "perfect fall"--an 85-footer to the ground in 1989, landing on tree roots between two boulders--a fall that would nearly always be fatal.  Instead, she was climbing again in six weeks and went on win major competitions before turning to big wall climbs.  Even if you don't know anything about climbing or Hill, watch the short Youtube videos "Lynn Hill at Hueco Tanks--Patagonia Ambassador" and "Lynn Hill: Free Climbing the Nose part V" (Hill was the first person to free climb the 3,000-foot, extremely difficult Nose route) and see if you don't want to know more.  The book includes a large selection of spectacular climbing photos from around the world.

    A Must read for climbing Enthusiasts
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2002*

As a novice climber and avid reader I try to read most climbing novels. This book will definitely please climbers as it covers this climbing legend's life from how she got into climbing, to her experiences growing up as a climber in Yosemite, to her triumphs in competitive climbing.But it also covers much more like the problems a female must conquer in the male climbing world. Some of my favorite parts were the stories in Yosemite and the many other great climbers she climbed with and the bond they shared. As with every climbing book, if enough climbers are introduced, you will encounter the climbers that are not living when the book is written due to accidents.This book also delves deeply into who Lynn Hill is. Mainly concerning her relationships, both climbing and romantic, many of which have tragic endings. The book starts by describing her worst fall and clearly demonstrates how lucky she was to survive. But to me the most introspective part of the book is her feelings of high altitude mountaineering. This was not her speciality and the book deals with why she stayed out of this arena and how uncomfortable she was in what high altitude climbing she did.A true climber's book. I recommend this book if you enjoy rock climbing.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Nice to read about history of climbing, but writing is not so good
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2013*

This book is nice in that it provides a nice overview of climbing history and of course, Lynn Hill's climbing life. Two things that bothered me: (1) she writes many climbing stories that did not actually happen to her, and appear elsewhere, and I'm not sure this incorporation of other people's stories is done well.(2) she kept writing throughout the book how a major climbing accident led to her reflection on her life. She wrote she felt selfish, concentrating on herself having fun (or something along these lines). However, at no point in the book it seems like she changes anything about the way she does things. She may have, but it does not appear in the text, and it is bothersome for the reader.Also, I did not finish the book since it became boring at the end, a repetition of  "and then I wanted to climb this type of cliffs and I found this opportunity to do so".It was a nice read for the most of it, it just that I was left remembering the negative stuff.
