    McKenna does a great job of portraying Whillans’ spirit. A must-read for anyone interested in the golden age of mountaineering. I particularly liked the Annapurna section.

  2. Prerna Gupta –

    I had mixed feelings about this book. Whillans was a fascinating character, but I wanted more details about the climbs.

    Amazing! The author captured Whillans spirit. One of the best books I’ve read about mountaineering.

    It was a decent biography, though it dragged on a bit in some parts.

    Excellent portrayal of a complicated and controversial figure. Highly recommend!

    The book was okay, but I expected more about his climbing techniques. It focused more on his personal life.

    This book provides great insight. Some areas were repetitive.

    A good read about a complex character. Whillans was undoubtedly talented, but the book also shows his flaws.

    A solid biography of a climbing legend. The writing is engaging, and the research is thorough.

    A good account of Whillans’ life, although at times I wished for more focus on the mountaineering details and less on the personal drama.

    Loved learning about Whillans! His stubbornness was definitely a double-edged sword. A truly inspiring story about dedication and pushing limits.
