David Ek

Nowhere Bound

A Spud's Reflections on Climbing and Caving-and Other Useless Toils

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A tribute to the joy, misery, beauty, obsession, and spiritual calling that lies within the heart of those who seek wild places-whether in the mountains, canyons, caves, or the dark recesses of the mind and spirit. While some souls are outward bound, and a few are downward bound, most gravitate to the wild corners of the highly relatable earthly nowhere bound.
