The obstacles: many and merciless, from ice storms to illness to a measurement question that threatened to make their record-breaking expedition a sham. The prize: the sheer, exhilarating triumph of standing at the top of every continent on earth.媒体推荐A thrilling and inspirational odyssey of two men's climb to the top of the highest peaks on each of the seven continents. "A great adventure story, filled with heroics, tragedy, humor and ultimately the triumph of the human spirit".--Tom Brokaw. 32-page insert.
