At high tide, he climbs, he loves it, he is good at it; he laughs and jokes, scares himself, falls, gets back up and climbs some more. Then the tide goes out and he finds himself alone, exposed, all questions and no answers. Self-doubt, grieving for friends or family, fearful, sometimes opinionated, occasionally angry - his writing more honest and exposed than in any account of a climb. Only when the tide turns is he able to forget once more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is a gripping memoir that captures the very essence of what it means to dedicate one's life to climbing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Findaway World, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49792707002672,"sku":"BDmnh3","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/723454-mnh3-Square.jpg?v=1746808010","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-mnh3","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
