Intense, unyielding, unapologetic, and at times straight-up angry, world-renowned alpinist Mark Twight holds nothing back in this collection of essays about life in the cold, deadly mountains. Whether recounting his first-ascent exploits in the Alaska Range or sharing his thoughts on nonconformity, Kiss or Kill gives readers the opportunity to spend a few hours inside Twight’s head—and emerge either tougher and more committed to their craft….or perhaps intimidated and looking for a comfy romance novel to cleanse their mental palette.
