From the summit of K2, one of the deadliest mountains in the world, to a self-supported crossing of the Chant Tang plateau, Rick Ridgeway shares tales from a lifetime of adventure. Life Lived Wild is Ridgeway’s newest book that will leave your palms sweaty in one chapter then make you question your role in society in the next. This amazing read is chock-full of knowledge, humility, and showcases, by example, how to live a life of adventure. While I originally picked up Life Lived Wild for the adventure, I was drawn deeper into the pages for the personal connection and discussion on friendship, family life, and risk taking. If you are looking for a book to read this summer, or any time, to get yourself excited for your next outing, snag a copy of Life Lived Wild.
