"Interesting, well written, humble and sincere" (Climb Nashville)

"Davis uses a conversational voice with just enough climbing lingo to tie together a lifetime of lessons learned in the almighty name of Going Higher.

It's four cups sweat and adrenaline adventure tales, two cups fresh personal essay, a tablespoon of poetry and a handful of international and cultural travel writing." (Francisco Tharp Mountain Gazette)
