Live this adrenaline adventure with sky climber Jake Meissner, as he ascends Longs Peak, Grays Peak, Torreys Peak, Mount Massive, Tyndall Glacier, and other towering giants from the geologic past. Hike alongside Jake as you tantalize your sense of smell with lodge pole pine, ponderosa pine, and quaking aspens ... on the trails that lead to your particular destination for the day. Smell the wet earth, the water, and the wildflowers along the banks of the gurgling creeks. Absorb the beautiful colors of the deep blue sky, the shades of green of the forest, and the bluebells along the creek bed. The contrast of color above timberline will be good for your soul - colors such as the deep blue sky, the gray granite rock with the white veins of snow, the orange and yellow of the lichen on the rocks, and the numerous colors of the wildflowers. Feel the blood pumping through your legs as you climb the varied terrain and elevations, working your way to the summit. Feel your heart pounding and lungs aching for air as you ascend higher with Jake to the lofty elevations. Experience the feel of your adrenaline, body tingling with excitement and fear, during close calls with death on the mountain. Gain knowledge and learn lessons right along with Jake, as he climbs the rugged and unforgiving mountains in unsettling scenarios of the remote high country of spectacular Colorado, a state above all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9923000\"\u003eJohn a.
