Sinopse

In a world captivated by the allure of towering peaks and treacherous terrains, one woman embarks on a life-altering journey to conquer the unconquerable: Mount Everest. This is the story of her extraordinary ascent, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of daunting challenges.

With unwavering determination, she sets foot on the path towards the summit, navigating treacherous glaciers, battling altitude sickness, and enduring the unforgiving elements. Along her arduous journey, she forms unbreakable bonds with fellow climbers, each sharing the same unwavering dream of reaching the apex of the world.

Yet, as she ascends higher, she discovers that the greatest battle is not against the mountain itself, but against her own inner demons. Doubt creeps in, threatening to consume her. The harsh realities of the death zone test her limits, both physically and mentally. But she refuses to be defeated.

Through sheer willpower and unwavering resolve, she pushes forward, one step at a time. She learns to trust her instincts, to rely on her teammates, and to find strength in the face of adversity. And as she finally reaches the summit, she experiences a moment of pure exhilaration, a sense of accomplishment that transcends words.

This book is more than just a tale of adventure. It is a story of self-discovery, resilience, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. It is a testament to the transformative power of dreams and the unwavering determination to turn them into reality.

Unforgettable, inspiring, and deeply moving, this book will leave readers breathless, filled with a renewed sense of hope and a burning desire to pursue their own dreams, no matter how daunting they may seem.

All of these iconic basketball notables were personally interviewed for a TV documentary special covering that season, of which 14 of them are NBA Hall of Famers. John Ireland, the long-time LA Lakers announcer provides an introduction, as well as the summary and impact of this magical season on the NBA, that is still felt in pro basketball to this day.

    "A must-read for anyone who loves Kruger and adventure." - Tony Park 
    WALKING WILD is not your typical safari - no game drives, no cool sundowners and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park. Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company. 
    Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents and lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly - others lay wide eyed, waiting for dawn. They drank from murky trickles in dry riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo and crocodiles, and slowly learnt to read the bush - from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion. 
    But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers - both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat - move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on. WALKING WILD captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie and deep immersion in the wild - a journey that leaves no one unchanged. 
    WALKING WILD is a testament to resilience, discovery and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamt of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail.
