The 40% Rule is a Navy Seal-based mindset suggesting that when I feel exhausted, I have only reached 40% of my potential. 60/40 Thawed and Raw is a collection of adventures exploring what happens when I push beyond the comforts of the familiar 40% and step into the unknown. The beauty of the human spirit shines in extreme circumstances. Mountaineering is the medium for lessons in hope and emotion that resonate with everyone. You do not have to be a climber to hold this book close. Bolivian Andes, Adirondacks, Denali, Rainier, St. Helens, the Olympics and the Death Road are just a few of the adventures that await.
