Born to Climb

Somewhat inconsistent. Part memoir, part history of climbing. Some (most) sections were fascinating, a few I found dry. Often jumpy wrt times and places, requiring effort to reorient myself. And, surprisingly, not as much female perspective as I had expected. I started following Reych some years ago because of their thoughtful, empowering writing; this book was quite different from what I had expected but it still delivered solidly on the thoughtful and empowering fronts.
