Cara doesn't want to go to college; she wants different kinds of challenges. She is growing distant from her friends and hasn't spoken to her father in eons. And her ex-boyfriend and fellow climber, Nat, broke up with her over text. Then Cara hears that her father is missing. Trying to track him down, she discovers a trail of clues centering around the history and life of legendary mountaineer, outdoorsman, author, and all around dirtbag, Beckett Friedrichs. And unfortunately, the only person who knows enough about Friedrichs to make sense of any of this is Nat. Their search will lead into the Cascade Mountains, up a harrowing rock face, and into the history of World War II with the impact of Pearl Harbor and its Japanese Incarceration Camps, Cara's family, and each other.,Adapted from back cover
