As bicycle races go the attractions of the Tour Divide are not immediately apparent. For a start it is the longest mountain-bike race in the world running nearly 3 000 miles down the Rockies from Canada to Mexico. But the distance is not the only challenge
- the total ascent of 200 000 ft is the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest nearly seven times. Then there are the dangerous animals likely to be encountered on the route: grizzly bears mountain lions & wolves not to mention rattlesnakes & tarantulas. Worse the rewards for all this effort are strictly limited. Unlike in the Tour de France there is no fabled yellow jersey & no prize money. Yet undaunted & in spite of never having owned a mountain bike Paul Howard signed up. Battling the worst weather for generations drinking whiskey with a cowboy & singing karaoke with the locals Howards journey turned into more than just a race
- it became the adventure of a lifetime.

With his life literally hanging from a slender rope over a crevasse near the top of a Himalayan mountain a young man relives in his mind a relentless two-year physical & spiritual test as a Peace Corps volunteer in a remote mountain village of Nepal. Combining the elements of adventure story travel log & personal confession this absorbing account describes a wrenching experience that belies the idealistic expectations of many Peace Corps volunteers. Following a two-year stint as a science & mathematics teacher in a Nepalese village Phil Deutschle sets off alone on a three-month expedition to conquer Pharchamo 20 580 feet high which has claimed several lives & is his final goal in the Himalayas. This trek forms the framework of the book & into it Deutschle weaves the story of his experiences over the previous two years in a series of sharply etched swiftly moving often humorous anecdotes. Deutschle is not starry-eyed about Nepal & its people or least of all about the mission of the Peace Corps. He vividly describes events that are both horrible & poignant: being charged by a rhinoceros the awful fascination of watching a corpse burn on a funeral pyre the struggle to save a child's life scaling a Himalayan peak higher than Mount Mc Kinley (the highest mountain in North America). Despite his difficulties he steels himself to stay one year then the full two years & imperceptibly grows so attached to the village that he leaves it in tears. Mourning the small death" of his departure confused about his identity as an American & feeling more alienated than before he sets off on a final reckless solo climb of Mount Pharchamo hardly caring whether he survives. Apathetic from lack of oxygen & from his own malaise & only when his life literally hangs on a slender rope does he overcome despair & make a gigantic effort to save himself. The two parts of the book
- the emotional challenge of the village & physical challenge of the climb
- come together in a triumphant affirmation of life. A native Californian Phil Deutschle is currently teaching handicapped children in Denmark. " The Two Year Mountain" was originally published by Bradt in 1986 & remains as relevant to the spirit of exploration & real raw travel writing today as it was then."
