Andrew Todhunter writes about extreme sports in an ongoing series of articles for The Atlantic Monthly. An amateur climber and adventurer of all trades, Todhunter is usually a participant in the sports that he writes about, and he has climbed extensively with soloist Dan Osman. He lives in the New York area with his wife and young daughter.
"Todhunter has the writing style of a good climber on steep
rock--calm, precise, and apparently effortless. By the end of this
extraordinary book, I had a much greater appreciation of a
fundamental truth, that people risk their life not because they
want to die, but because they want to live."
--Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm
"Todhunter has produced a work of clear beauty and a true adventure
of the soul."
--Roger Rosenblatt
"Andrew Todhunter...eloquently charts his own journey from
rebellious recklessness to the far more awesome challenges of
real-life responsibility."
--Richard Meryman, author of Andrew Wyeth: A Secret Life
"Some of the freshest and most original writing about climbing in
recent memory."
--David Roberts, author of The Mountain of My Fear and Moments of
Doubt
"Andrew Todhunter writes like an angel..."
--Kenneth S. Lynn, author of Hemingway and Charlie Chaplin and His
Times
