First sentence: my first awareness of nature was that the smog-infested air hurt my five-year-old lungs.
Description: "In his autobiography, world-class climber Gerry Roach tells an action-packed tale of self-discovery and spiritual growth lace with hard-edged reality.

Each of these memories reveals Gerry's passion for the ultimate experience and an ability to bring his readers on belay."--Jacket.
