Reseña del libro "How to Fail at Hiking Mt. Whitney (en Inglés)"

The best way to succeed at something is to learn how to fail at it-and then to avoid the things that lead to failure. There are books that tell you how to succeed at hiking Mt. Whitney. This book helps you not to fail by showing you what not to do, from the moment you start planning your trip to the moment you reach the summit. You learn what gear not to buy and not to take, how to maximize your chances of getting a hiking permit (don't apply for the wrong days of the week!), how to prepare yourself physically without over-preparing, how to avoid being laid low by altitude or weather problems, how not to take too much food or water-or too little. You even discover how to shave a mile off the trip by using little-known shortcuts that can make the difference between reaching the summit and reaching exhaustion. Most people who depart the Mt. Whitney trailhead fail to reach the top. Some fail because of things entirely beyond their control, but many fail because of insufficient preparation, false expectations, and basic errors of judgment. Their mistakes can come at the beginning (such as failing to get a hiking permit), during the preparation stage (such as being induced to buy "bombproof" gear), or during the hike (such as not heeding bodily warning signs). Through engaging stories of his own and others' failures, Karl Keating shows you how to fail-and therefore how to succeed-at hiking the tallest peak in the 48 contiguous states.
