    Mr. Krakauer shared the enthusiasm with Chris in mountain climbing, he also had some conflicts with his father as most of the teenagers did. “I was twenty-three, a year younger than Chris McCandless when he walked into the Alaska bush. My reasoning, if one can call it that, was inflamed by the scattershot passions of youth and a literary diet overly rich in the works of Nietzsche, Kerouac, and John Menlove Edwards, the latter a deeply troubled writer and psychiatrist who, before putting an end to his life with a cyanide capsule in 1958, had been one of the preeminent British rock climbers of the day. Edwards regarded climbing as a “psycho-neurotic tendency”; he climbed not for sport but to find refuge from the inner torment that framed his existence” (Krakauer 134). Mr. Krakauer was also obsessed with the writers and easily influenced by them, urging to…
