Love the outdoor adventure books, Outside Magazine is my primary source for recommendations.
This is a great read, quite riveting, about a highly experienced rock-climber who makes a nearly fatal error in what should have been a low risk endeavor. He survives, albeit leaving his arm behind, to write the book.

Hey Tom-
I'm going to go see the movie version tomorrow, directed by the Slumdog Millionaire guy (Danny Boyle) and starring James Franco. It's a private advance screening which I'm absurdly lucky to be attending and Boyle and Franco will be there for a Q&A. Though we've not seen the film of course, got any questions?
