As someone who was a teenager and young adult who had a drive for day scrambles, multi-day backpacking, long off-trail multi-day solo trips, and (even as a middle-aged adult) had a wish for a time machine so I could be with Lewis and Clark and other such trips centuries ago - I had a very high level of interest in the story. The fact that he died 'out there' makes no difference. ... a la "Where does this drive to be out there come from? Or, where does this drive to be out of the 'mainstream' come from?"
Might watch the movie if it gets good reviews. Of course, no way can it do the book justice.
