But he is really a self-made man. So much of Wild is about how we must ultimately make ourselves. Bill Walker is the author of Skywalker–Highs and Lows on the Pacific Crest Trail. He is also the author of...

However, there is the issue of elevation. For the average person, this is probably as high as they...
