1.K2: Life and Death on the World s Most Dangerous MountainK2: Life and Death on the World's Most Dangerous Mountain
from Broadway
Price: $14.98

Customer Review:
Ed Viesturs has written a very good book on the history of climbing the world's second tallest mountain, K2.
Viesturs is very workmanlike in his prose and factual in his delivery. He avoids the type of self-aggrandizement that can make a reader wonder if a book "about me" is just the good parts... more info

5.Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic Skills (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert)Rock Climbing: Mastering Basic Skills (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert)
from Mountaineers Books
Price: $14.00

Customer Review:
It's an easy read and it gives a lot of good information, but I think the illustrations were lacking. Especially the sections of tying knots (it seemed like he was missing steps at times) and equipment descriptions (he'd name off all sorts of gear, but not show a picture of each one). The pictures... more info

from Mountaineers Books
Price: $101.00

Customer Review:
I thought the book had good information on compass navigation, especially good for novices. It is imperative that people be up on the use of a compass, GPS in remote locations can be a hit and miss kind of thing when it comes to satellite reception. Can't miss with a compass and it has gotten me... more info
