That does not happen often. I read manuscripts for a living, and most of them earn a nod, a red pen, and a polite email. This one earned something closer to a lump in my throat.<\/p><p>There is a moment in the Aconcagua chapter \u2014 the one where a member of Pattison&#8217;s climbing party begins to unravel from cerebral edema a thousand feet from the summit \u2014 where I actually put the manuscript down. Not because it was poorly written. Because it was so plainly, unglamorously true. I have read a great many mountaineering memoirs that traffic in bravado. This one traffics in humility, and that is a far rarer and far more valuable currency.<\/p><p><em>As an editor, I don&#8217;t say this lightly: this manuscript has commercial instincts and a genuine soul in equal measure. That combination is what makes a book work on a shelf and in a reader&#8217;s hands at 11 p.m. This one has both. <\/em><\/p><p><strong>&#8220;Barnes and Noble&#8221; Marketing
