Acclaimed writer Watkins describes his spellbinding solo trek through the wilds of Norway’s Rondane and Jutunheimen mountains - grand but harsh landscapes where myth and reality meet. His adventure takes him through some of the most spectacular country imaginable - valleys bordered by thousand-foot cliffs, roaring waterfalls wreathed in rainbows, blinding glaciers, and shimmering blue snowfields. Yet this is also some of the harshest, most challenging terrain in the world. Watkins’s route follows razor-thin ridges, hair-raising paths, and vertigo-inducing drops. This engaging and reflective memoir captures the profound connection between the Norwegian landscape and the myths, people, and dreams that it inspires.
