Experience the awe, ache, and angst of climbing with Connard Hogan as he embarks on a mountaineering journey of physical and emotional self-discovery.
His adventures begin with the challenge of climbing California's fourteen-thousand-foot peaks, which become the landscape where he wages battle against not only the physical challenges of climbing but also his deepest anxieties and primal fears, embodied in an alter ego he calls "Primate."
Narrated with honesty and wit, A Journey of Courage and the Climb Within brings the reader along on Hogan's thrilling, peak-bagging journey as he strives to outpace his physical limitations, outwit the elements, and maybe, just maybe, find the inner affirmation he's been looking for.
