Sheer Will: Inspiring Life and Climbs of Michael Groom

Sheer Will: The Inspiring Life and Climbs of Michael Groom is an autobiography detailing the Australian mountaineer’s extraordinary career. The book details Groom’s journey, which includes losing a third of both his feet to frostbite during a 1987 climb. Despite being told he would not have an active, outdoor life again, he taught himself to walk and returned to climbing the Himalayas, notably without supplementary oxygen. He is one of the few people to have climbed all six of the world’s highest mountains. The book features color photo sections and an introduction by Lincoln Hall.
