To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The Trial of the Rope — Lars Eriksson and the English climber have been roped together for six days on Stortinden in the Norwegian Arctic and have not agreed on anything since the third. The rope that connects them is also the rope that constrains them — neither can move without the other, and the question of which route to take off the mountain is the question of which man's judgment is worth staking the other's life on.
