"Cara is stoked. She's finally ready to start the gap year she's been planning for ages: climbing in Patagonia. Her friends are off to college soon, her mom is mostly on board with her plans, and she's got nothing holding her back. Not even the reappearance of her ex, Nat, can break her focus. Then her dad drops off the grid. Again. Cara figures he's fixated on his newest obsession and simply not answering the phone. But when she checks out his place, she finds molding food, untouched bottles of his prescriptions, a wall full of maps and notes...and his climbing gear is gone. Now she needs Nat's help to unravel the clues her dad left behind, which somehow link together a Japanese incarceration center, a Depression-era jobs program, the North Cascades' most famous climber, and a forgotten peak. But time is short, the mountain is unforgiving, and her dad hasn't climbed in years..."--Dust jacket flap.
