Summary Ch. 13-15

Krakuar goes to Carine's house which is Chris's sister in order to talk about him. Its been 10 months since Chris has died but she still cries hystarically over the thought of her late brother. She explains how his deatha has affected her diet because he died from starvation. Krakuar then explains at how when he was little he would go to Devils Thumb to climb it and mess around for fun. He descirbes his feelings of joy but also loneliness of being on the mountain since he liked having human contact. Instead of going to college he decides to become a carpentner and a climber since thats what he loves to do. Then a storm hits when hes climbing one time and he comes across a series of intense slips and encounters that could've cost his life but he finally makes it to the top to snap a few earned photographs of the beautiful scenery
