Ep. 972: A Fine Line - Graham Zimmerman

Graham has been climbing mountains for most of his life. He’s been to some of the farthest reaches on our planet and experienced some of the most remote peaks one is able to summit.  He recently wrote a book about his life and countless adventures, A Fine Line; Searching for Balance Among Mountains. In this engaging and provocative coming of age memoir, Zimmerman maintains a delicate balancing act: appreciating the joy that climbing brings him while recognizing that the sport has a darker side. With thoughtful introspection, A Fine Line blends tales of mountain adventures with stories of memorials for friends killed in climbing accidents and firsthand experience of the effects of climate change.
