For his fiftieth birthday, Geoffery Norman wanted to trek up Wyoming's 14,000-foot Grand Teton. When his fifteen-year-old daughter, Brooke, volunteered to join him, his midlife dream became their adventure of a lifetime. After conquering the first mountain, father and daughter set their sights on Aconcagua, one of the highest peaks in the world.John Rasmus of National Geographic calls Two for the Summit an adventure of the heart ; and Asa Baber of Playboy hails it as one of the deepest and finest books of the year . Geoffrey Norman takes readers on a journey into the synergistic worlds of mountain-climbing and fatherhood, exploring both the mystical and powerful bond between fathers and daughters and the demands of climbing mountains. With warmth, candor, and insight, Norman illuminates these twin challenges and their shared required skills -- courage, teamwork, and trust.
