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: $14.88

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

Price: $18.78

Customer Review:
Someone once told me "Mountaineering is just like backpacking with less margin for error".

This book contains all of that - the... more info

Customer Review:
Anyone who has lived out of a pack for a few days, bagged a few peaks,
and taken a few roped chances just for a visceral, unambiguous sense of
accomplishment -and a great view- will get a lot out of Ed's book.

As a native of Colorado who has climbed only three of the fourteeners, but has a son who has climbed all the fourteeners I wanted to read HALFWAY TO HEAVEN. I was not disapointed.

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
