520    "In June 1992, best friends Jim Davidson and Mike Price 
       stood triumphantly atop Washington's Mount Rainier, 
       celebrating what they hoped would be the first of many 
       milestones in their lives as passionate young 
       mountaineers. Instead, their conquest gave way to 
       catastrophe when a cave-in plunged them deep inside a 
       glacial crevasse--the pitch-black, ice-walled hell that 
       every climber's nightmares are made of.  At once a heart-
       stopping adventure story, a heartfelt memoir of friendship,
       and a stirring meditation on fleeting mortality and 
       immutable nature, The Ledge chronicles one man's 
       transforming odyssey from the dizzying heights of elation 
       and awe to the punishing depths of grief and hard-won 
       wisdom. This book's visceral, lyrical prose sings the 
       praises of the physical world's wonders, while searching 
       the souls of those willing, for better or worse, to fully 
       embrace it."--from publisher's description.
