Good story about life lessons and survival. This is an autobiography about the survival of Norman Ollestad after his plane crashed in the mountains east of LA. He attempted to rescue his father, who did not make it, but throughout the account of the events that lead Norman to his rescue, he intertwines to story of his childhood memories growing up at the beach with his father, who always pushed him to try harder and conquer the unthinkable in terms of adventure sports- mainly surfing and skiing. If nothing else, this book inspired me to charge ahead with my sports and realize that 99% of achievement in life is dependent on mental strength, determination, and a thirst for adventure.
