Another timeless title in publishing's strongest shelf of adventure literature classics, Feeding the Rat is a brilliant profile of a climber's climber who repeatedly gets himself into life-threatening situations and then some-how finds a way to survive. Combining the best elements of Adrenaline -- great story, great characters, and great writing by a writer's writer, distinguished literary journalist A. Alvarez-Feeding the Rat is legendary within the climbing community, but a well-kept secret otherwise. Adrenaline Books proudly presents this classic for re-discovery by the post-Into Thin Air readers of climbing and adventure literature.
