Pat Falvey's story is one of courage and triumph, of turning adversity to advantage. He was a self-made millionaire by the age of 28; two years later he was almost broke. He faced his tough times head on and turned to the great outdoors to find new challenges and personal fulfillment. He quickly found new success, and became the first Irishman to climb all the great mountains of the world, including Everest, Kilimanjaro, McKinley, Mount Vinson in Antarctica, and Mount Aconcagua in South America. He also spent an extensive amount of time exploring the jungles of Irian Jaya in New Guinea, much of it with the man-eating Dani tribe, currently in danger of extinction from occupying Indonesian forces.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiring book that makes one develop define and accomplish!,
This review is from: Reach for the Sky (Hardcover)
Moving from the south and being new to the Seattle area, this book has inspired me to climb Mt. Ranier this summer. I have had no real "climbing" experience but Pat has inspired me to look beyond work and establish new goals and live life to the fullest. If you have read "Into Thin Air" this is a must read. If you have ever been a workaholic this is a must! It truly makes you look beyond your current horizons.
