The ground hummed. Every day, all day, ocean waves and earthquakes and pulsing storms ring the Earth like a low-frequency bell. But this was different. At the edge of Colorado's Grizzly Creek Canyon, Anthony Massey discovers the precise latitude, longitude, and altitude at which a timeless question of man was answered: What is consciousness?

The ground hummed. Every day, all day, ocean waves and earthquakes and pulsing storms ring the Earth like a low-frequency bell. But this was different. At the edge of Colorado's Grizzly Creek Canyon, Anthony Massey discovers the precise latitude, longitude, and altitude at which a timeless question of man was answered: What is consciousness? That this answer should come to a man, average in every way, who set out to quietly pursue the elite ranks of alpinists who have conquered the Fourteeners-fifty-five of the highest peaks in Colorado-is extraordinary. That this answer came as a gift on the heels of car bombs detonating on the residential streets of Northern Ireland, an aging body facing life or death in the wilderness, and a militant and abusive father who never stepped away from racism-is transformative. In Mountains for Peace, Anthony embarks on a dual journey into an unprecedented mountaineering achievement alongside one of the most successful and high-profile peace efforts in recent history. This powerful and inspiring tale invites readers to leave behind past darkness and struggles, embrace perseverance, and question their limits so they, too, can discover life's answers.
