About the book: 1997 / It has long been known: if you want to test yourself, go to the mountains. The young artist, painfully trying to understand herself and understand relationships with loved ones, decides to take a desperate step, from the point of view of the average person - she goes on a hike along the most difficult route. But if for Teivy this is just an adventure, then for the tourism instructor, who has become the only one to whom she is ready to completely belong, this is a natural way of existence. Scott is disgusted by the ordinariness of a well-ordered life, and, even reaching out with all his heart to a pure and fearless girl, he is unable to descend from the mountains. By conquering the peaks, the heroes not only test themselves and each other, but also comprehend the highest values.
