Summary
Sagarmāthā, aka Everest. The highest point on Earth.
Five vertical miles of glory, shattered ambitions, and broken bodies.
Mountaineers embrace suffering, and walk hand in hand with death. It's a risk all mountain climbers accept in pursuit of personal triumph, critical acclaim, or social media notoriety.
Carrying a legacy, Caitlyn chases the end of a journey her father never got to finish.
Vi climbs for the conquest, for the thrill, for the sheer defiance of it—flipping off the naysayers as she aims to carve her name into history.
Their relationship exists in fragments: stolen moments between expeditions, fleeting warmth found at the feet of the most beautiful and brutal mountains on the planet. But Caitlyn has drawn a hard line: when this climb is done, she swears she’s hanging up her crampons for good.
Where will that leave her and Vi?
Vi lives for the mountains—for the danger, the triumph, the glory.
Once they’ve reached the summit, will they choose each other, or go their separate ways?
And will the mountain even give them the chance to choose at all?
AKA The one where they are stubborn, ambitious idiots.
