Product Description
Guy Waterman, a former Capitol Hill speechwriter, abandoned his career to pursue his passion for mountain climbing. He was a genuine eccentric and troubled soul. His relationships with his sons turned tragic. To find peace, he built a cabin in the mountains of Vermont without modern conveniences of any kind. He indulged his climbing and became a prominent historian of the mountains of the northeast. None of this was apparently sufficiently fulfilling. One winter day, he walked up the mountain and committed suicide by exposure. The author recounts Guy Waterman’s life and attempts to answer the question “why?”Product Details

Sad story
I really tried to get into this book and into Guy Waterman's life. Maybe it was the general pessimism surrounding Waterman or no offense to Chip Brown; maybe it was the writing but I could barely finish this book. I felt sorry for Guy and especially for his sons but I also think this book sort of dragged everything on and on without giving us much insight.
