But how high does he have to climb to leave humanity behind?Tragedy in the northern Japanese Alps leaves Mori reeling, but despite the devastating experience, his love of climbing remains undimmed. His ability to handle other people has suffered, though, and it takes an incredible job offer to finally draw him back down into civilization. There, he finds everything just as terrible as he left it. Will his new hopes for the future get snagged on the relentlessness of reality?
