In Mixed Emotions, Child remembers the mountains, the people, and the episodes
\nthat have made me feel my life acutely, including the 1986 K2 tragedy that
\nkilled 13 climbers; a near-fatal snakebite in his native Australia; and the
\nloss of climbing partner Pete Thexton. He recalls his associations with world-
\nrenowned mountaineers Doug Scott, John Roskelley, Voytek Kurtyka, and Don
\nWhillans.<\/p>\n
Child also narrates fascinating off-mountain journeys to a secluded Hindu
\nshrine, and the remote, harsh landscape of the Baltoro Glacier, where progress
\nhas left its indelible mark.
\nFinally, Child comments on some less tangible aspects of climbing, such as the
\nghostly presence that accompanies climbers under duress, and the meanings of
\nand inevitable meetings with death. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
