About the book
In this gripping, heartfelt and inspiring memoir, one of Canada's foremost mountaineers shares a life spent in and out of the death zone. The ESCAPIST is a story about human perseverance and triumph in the pursuit of one man's dreams, and helps to explain why some people will never give up on trying to climb to the top of the world. In the course of 20 years spent scaling the highest peaks in the world, Filippi has repeatedly cheated death. From a Taliban attack on a mountainside in Pakistan that felled ten of his climbing companions to the deadliest disaster in Everest's history, Filippi has survived again and again.
