But when his twelve-year-old son gets bitten by the climbing bug at summer camp, Obmascik can’t resist the opportunity for some high-altitude father-son bonding by hiking a peak together. After their first joint climb, Obmascik, addled by the thin air, decides to keep his head in the clouds and try to scale \u003ci\u003eall \u003c\/i\u003efifty-four of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains, known as the Fourteeners—and to do it \u003ci\u003ein less than one year. \u003c\/i\u003eThe result is \u003ci\u003eHalfway to Heaven, \u003c\/i\u003ea rollicking, witty, sometimes harrowing chronicle of an outrageous adventure that is no walk in the park. This \"hilarious midlife picaresque\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) has garnered wide critical acclaim, was named an \"Editor’s Pick\" by \u003ci\u003eParade, \u003c\/i\u003ewon the 2009 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Literature, and made one reviewer laugh so hard he \"blew beer out of [his] nose\" (\u003ci\u003eColorado Daily\u003c\/i\u003e). Like the author’s critically acclaimed debut, \u003ci\u003eThe Big Year, \u003c\/i\u003eit brings a keen eye and sharp humor to an obsessive subculture: climbers who share the author’s crazed passion of scaling all fifty-four of the famed and feared Fourteeners.","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46915530358942,"sku":"HPC-9781416567004","price":25.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781416567004.jpg?v=1780036890","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781416567004","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
