Having read the book on my Kindle, I read it one day. No, it's not a short story, but it's a real page turner and could not put it down for anything. Yes, I knew that Mr. Babcock came back alive and well even after other climbs, I forget how often he went up, because I worked with Jeff at an elementary school in Eagle River, AK. He reviewed some history of the towns around here, I'd forgotten, as I came to AK in 1967 when he was climbing for the first time. I met him years later. I could hear his voice as I read the pages of the book. Photos on Kindle were a bit small for my old eyes, so a magnifying glass helped. Learning how Mr. B. learned about himself, finding his strength in fighting his demons. Yes I do believe that at times on the Mountain there were supernatural events taking place that defy explanation and do I believe that God can and will intervene? YOU BETCHA I do. This is more than climbing a mountain.. I want to read it many more times and highly recommend it, even if you aren't into climbing mountains. Thank you Mr. Babcock.
I must confess that I haven't read very many books about climbing expeditions, I prefer to live the experiences. My climbing mentors are from the "Golden Age of Climbing", names like Charles Houston, Bradford Washburn, Adams Carter, and all too often modern climbing literature has been sensationalized or is written by professional climbers to help pay for their profession. Though sometimes these books can be exciting to read, they are more on the edges of the foundation that these early climbers established. This book is not one of these...I came across the book "Should I Not Return" quite by accident while researching a planned trip to the Liberty Ridge on Rainier. What caught my eye was that Jeff Babcock was doing a show at the REI in Seattle a week after I was scheduled to leave. Though I didn't make the show, I remembered the name from a trip that I was on back in 1977, my very first expedition, which happened to be up the West Buttress of Denali.We were the first team on the mountain from the west and Jeff's team was on the opposite side following the same path as the first 2 early ascents that occurred in 1910 and 1913.On this expedition we crossed paths probably without meeting. My team had split up due to cold injuries and AMS (It turns out that Garnet Roehm helped me get two injured members of the original team back to the high camp safely from Denali pass. Thank you, Garnet! I will forever be grateful to you for this!), and found myself at 17000 ft with two people from another expedition that had also been fragmented. One of these two people was a very good igloo builder. The three of us ended up building a small igloo that was our home for several days while we did our summit bid. The day we returned from the summit, Jeff's team had made it over the top from the other side of Denali pass and was camped with us but I don't recall that Jeff was among them. He was probably on his North summit bid at that time.The weather was beginning to change for the worse, and the three of us decided to make our way (crawl) back to the 14000 ft camp in very serious winds. They increased at least 2 fold and they made a constant sound like a jet engine on afterburners roaring up above. This tremendous storm was with us for days.It turns out that this little igloo became part of Jeff's (and Garnet's) story as well as my own. I can only imagine what it was like for them up there at 17000 ft!When you pick up a copy of this book you immediately realize that this is not just another climbing book. Flipping through the pages one will find pictures of famous climbers, family portraits, and individual family members which do not often appear in many climbing books, along with numerous historical references, maps and web links.The book has 4 dimensions. At it's root is a historical reference with notes, footnotes, (pictures, maps, and web links).It also contains a documentary, the timeline of events that brought about one of the greatest tragedies that has ever occurred on Denali.Then there is the (not so) "fictional" story that interweaves through these paths to allow the reader a different perspective of history than has been written before. Similar to an abstract painting of a real subject but the artist choose to blur the lines and colors to allow each observer a different perspective through imagination.And finally there is the actual story of the author and his brother which is overseeing and present, keeping things "real".Together, this in itself makes for a very gripping read. But one would have missed a very important aspect of this work without reflecting upon the author's attempt to explore climbing from the primal motivations deep in the soul built upon relationships that we have experienced throughout our lives then moving outward to the physical, and even beyond to the metaphysical.Not only do these experiences, emotions, relationships, memories contribute to our passions but they also contribute to our abilities to survive our passions.I sometimes tell people that the climb actually starts when the idea pops into your head and you begin your preparations which can start many months before you actually set foot on the mountain. This book shows that the climb actually starts much further back, indeed all the way back to one's youth. The work gives you a glimpse into your soul where our collective demons lurk which we attempt to suppress by overwhelming our senses in the frozen world of the Icefield Ranges in the Yukon, or on Alaska's glacial regions, or on Denali.It takes you outward, to reality, where your next step may land you deep in a crevasse or a fall down a steep slope. Then beyond to the spirits of the climbers before you in the golden age, that lay down the footsteps on the path that you may be following.Several years after leaving Alaska I moved to Vermont, and I would occasionally visit with Charlie Houston at his home in Burlington which was not far from me at the time. On one of these visits he told me that the very best writing comes from the heart. When something is written from the heart the actual words fall away but the true meaning shines through and prevails. Charlie lived by these rules, in the books that he wrote and the ones written about him.This book was also written from the heart.Thank you Jeff, for sharing your experiences, your stories, and your history with us and allowing us to return to this incredible place with you!
I enjoy reading books about mountain climbing (I will never make it to the top of Denali or even the14ers). I picked this one because I live in Alaska and am familiar with the layout of the mountain and Denali national park. It was a good story with lots of details about the mountain and the climbing routes. It is based on a true story, but is fiction. I found that very confusing, because the "fiction" is interspersed with "real" photos of the author and his family and photos from real excursions on the mountain. I had trouble figuring out what was real and what was fiction. Although I enjoyed it, I would have rather seen it be all non-fiction or all fiction, or perhaps a separate section for each.I would also like to see a map with all the places mentioned in the book. Some of the landmarks and routes are overlayed on pictures, but I had a hard time visualizing some of them.Should I not Return is good read, but not a classic like those by the likes of Eric Shipton or Jon Krakauer.
I'm not sure what happened here, but this book could have definitely benefited from an editor. I read Forever on the Mountain and was so engrossed in the story I couldn't wait to read other accounts of this fascinating tragedy. However, when I received the book I was baffled to find that the first two chapters' pages were completely out of order, some missing entirely, and the entire first chapter was printed upside-down. It was missing too many pages to be understood, so I skipped the first two and went from there. The book itself is interesting, though personally I would have preferred a first person perspective, the author uses some creative liberty to change names (his own?) and details that I thought detracted from the book.
A real page turner. Not only a book about conquering the mountain, but a personal coming of age tale of entanglements between two climber brothers and the greater family they share. Babcock balances the tension between his personal struggles and the challenges of climbing the highest and perhaps the most difficult mountain on the continent, along with the historical climbs of those that went before, some surviving, some not . Along with breathtaking descriptions of the ice, wind, and snow of Mt. Denali, the author shares details about the effects of high altitude on the fragile human body both living and dead. The reader is astonished to learn how impossible it is to get identification from a corpse whose body and clothing are frozen solid as stone.This is more than a book about struggling with the Mountain. It is a young man’s quest to carve out a place of his own and will appeal to a cross section of readers.
