Description:In 1978, a pair of climber--Jack Roberts and Simon McCartney--made the first ascent of the North Face of Mount Huntington in a ten-day push with only five days of supplies. Two years later, they teamed up again to make the first ascent of the Southwest Face of Mount McKinley. Nearly at the summit, and after days without food, Simon contracted cerebral edema and the pair could neither climb nor descend. When all hope was gone, another pair of climbers reached the top of the Cassin Ridge and stumbled upon the stranded duo. What ensued was an epic ten-day battle for four men to survive on the most dangerous mountain in North America.Almost forty years later, neither route has been repeated because they are considered too difficult and dangerous. The psychological damage was so powerful that McCartney never climbed again. Beyond the Breaking Point is Simon's account, told for the first time.
