2.		The Last Step: The American Ascent of K2 from Mountaineers Books Price: $19.75 Customer Review: First the short version: Written by Rick Ridgeway (one of the summiters), this is a detailed, well-written account of the hardships, team conflicts and eventual triumph (though almost at the cost of their lives) of the 1978 American K2 expedition; with the best color photos of the mountain, the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

3.		The Shadow of Kilimanjaro from Holt Paperbacks Price: $11.56 Customer Review: Overall, I thought this book was well written and was incredibly informative. My only disappointment came at the lack of real hardship they faced on their trek. Walking from Kilimanjaro to the Indian Ocean is no small feat, but I was disappointed that they had all their camps sights (tents, food,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

4.		Glen Denny: Yosemite in the Sixties from T. Adler Books/ Patagonia Price: $37.80 Customer Review: The pictures are nice/ok, but I frankly question how much sense it makes to pay roughly 60 dollars for a book which in essence celebrates a simple and frugal way of living in which monetary considerations are only secondary (perhaps it was the publisher who set the price - also, this is admittedly... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

6.		Big Open: On Foot Across Tibert's Chang Tang from National Geographic Price: $14.00 Customer Review: I'd give the text a 4, but my real motivation for the book was because of Galen Rowell's involvement. Unfortunately there's only several photos in the book and seemed like his name was tacked on the cover merely to sell the book. Obviously he had passed by the time the book was written and was a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

7.	[no image]	High: Stories of Survival From Everest and K2 from Adrenaline Books Customer Review: This is a classic. Well told stories of the difficulties encountered climbing Everest and K2. The machismo seems to have been left far below the altitudes these climbers struggle at. These true accounts finally wind together around common threads of stress, inability to think and act rationally... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

8.		Below Another Sky: A Mountain Adventure in Search of a Lost Father from Holt Paperbacks Customer Review: This was a great book. Ridgeway did a great job of weaving in stories of his mountain adventures, along with his current quest: taking his best friend's daughter to a high alititude climb they did 20 years before to find her father's grave. It is really touching - and a quick read. I am looking... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom

9.		In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro: On Foot Across East Africa from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Customer Review: The story is of a trek, entirely on foot, from the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro, east along the great watercourses that rise on the mountain and empty into the Indian Ocean. Most of the trek is through the Tsavo game parks in southeastern Kenya. Despite some sloppy editing, the book succeeds very well... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information Buy from: United Kingdom
