SIGNED HARDCOVER Beth Rodden Light Through The Cracks Rock Climber 1st edition

Description: A LIGHT THROUGH THE CRACKS: A CLIMBER'S STORY Beth Rodden 2024 1st edition New Hc SIGNED by Beth Rodden Renowned rock climber Beth Rodden’s inspiring memoir about overcoming devastating trauma, refusing to be held hostage by fear, and taking a leap toward healing. Beth Rodden was twenty years old and already an elite rock climber when a climbing excursion in Kyrgyzstan escalated into a nightmare. Beth, her boyfriend, and two other climbers are kidnapped by militant rebels. After six harrowing days of hiding, marching, and dodging gunfire, they miraculously escape captivity. But fear follows Beth home, and pushing past it becomes a fixation. She and her boyfriend, Tommy Caldwell, trained obsessively, achieving rock-climbing greatness and conquering each groundbreaking goal they set, all the while burying the terrors of Kyrgyzstan deep inside. Then comes an unexpected breaking point. For Beth, a woman at the top of her profession, the only way to overcome the anxiety that still controls her is to let go of the lifeline she?s been clinging to. Blowing up her successful and familiar life, Beth clears a path to a new one, a healthy new normal beyond the anxieties of the past and the myopic pursuit of athletic perfection. Charting a powerful journey of ambition, hope, love, physical and emotional endurance, and the true fulfillment of being oneself, A Light through the Cracks is Beth's story of climbing up and through life.
