description: A searingly original testament to the transcendent power of wild spaces and the redemptive radiance of the American West.--Kevin Fedarko author of The Emerald MileWhen Brendan Leonard moved to the West at age 23 he was a mess. He had a tenuous grip on sobriety only six months after his last drink had landed him in yet another jail cell. It was the final mistake in a long list that included multiple arrests wrecked cars broken bones fistfights and ruined relationships. In Montana he took his first steps into the Rocky Mountains unwittingly beginning a decade-long obsession with climbing and a journey that would take him all over the West and Europe. Written with unflinching honesty and vulnerability Sixty Meters to Anywhere is the memoir of a barstool storyteller who left the bar and found adventure redemption and a life that almost never happened.
