The Rage: Reflections on Risk
Can$19.95
Steve De Maio
Risk-taker Steve De Maio explores risk in this eclectic
collection of climbing essays and poetry written over a 20-year period. Starting
with the “Hard Years” of his youth when he was out of work and moving
through to the present, De Maio’s stories can be sombre, humorous or just
plain outrageous. Yet throughout this collection, the author examines the theme
of risk: what it is, how it can be managed and how his attitude toward it has
changed over time.
STEVE DE MAIO has been a risk-taker for most of his life, exhibiting an
early penchant for tree climbing, aerial-rope and bike stunts before the age of
10. He began rock climbing at age 14 and since then has made over 150 first
ascents in North America, some of which have never been repeated.
