The book explores the profound connection between mountain climbing and spiritual awakening, as articulated by Julius Evola, a prominent figure in esoteric thought. He draws parallels between the physical challenges of scaling peaks and the inner journey of self-discovery, emphasizing the heroic nature of such endeavors. Through personal anecdotes and reflections on influential spiritual figures like Milarepa and Alexandra David-Neel, Evola illustrates how ancient cultures revered mountains as sacred spaces for spiritual growth, contrasting this with modern self-interest.
