In early on 2003, a Wall Road investment banker named Bo Parfet attempt to accomplish something very few experienced done before - climbing the best mountain on every continent. He had not been a professional climber, but what started out as a casual interest would soon turn into a lifelong love and in only over four years, Bo would defeat the chances and conquer all the mountains - Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Denali, Vinson Massif, Elbrus, Carstenz Pyramid, Kosciusko, and Everest - with courage, unbridled love, and determination. Merging the gripping narrative of Into Thin Air with the adrenaline-fueled play of Vertical Limit, Die Trying is the incredible story of 1 man's challenge against his own limitations. From dodging avalanches to crossing a ladder over a relatively bottomless crevasse, to making his way through the Khumbu Icefall and burying a deceased teammate at 27,000 foot, we experience all the author's exhilarating, often terrifying climbs first-hand. We travel with him during his near-death experiences when falling into a crevasse in New Zealand and nearly-drowning in crocodile-infested rapids throughout a canoe competition in Belize. And we talk about the terror of his confrontations with corrupt military officials, cannibalistic tribesmen, and local militia teams. Harrowing and uplifting, Die Trying is a riveting memoir that will encourage most of us to defy the chances and satisfy our dreams.
