In climbing, as in life, the hardest route is often the one that leads to freedom.

At nineteen, Fallon Rowe was swept into a whirlwind romance with a charismatic new climbing partner, leaving behind her geology studies in northern Utah for an expedition that would change her life forever. Together, they set out for Patagonia to climb the legendary Fitz Roy—a peak far beyond her experience level. But what began as an adventure quickly spiraled into chaos, marked by illness, violence, run-ins with Argentinian police, and a toxic relationship that tested her endurance in ways she never imagined.

With its blend of breathtaking adventure and emotional depth, this book is an inspiration to anyone who has faced adversity and fought to reclaim their life.
