Eiger Dreams

Customer Review:

I found the writing very appealing as I am an outdoor guy myself. Sarcastically funny in a good way.

High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed
from Hyperion
Price: $8.82

Customer Review:

Book: 5 stars, Audio: 3 stars
This is only the second audio book I have "read" so it didn't occur to me to look closely at the case until I was 3/4 of the way thru. I FAIL! It was abridged. I HATE abridged books! I finished it, then went to the library and signed out the book.
The book... more info

Mount Rainier: A Climbing Guide
from Mountaineers Books
Price: $9.70

Customer Review:

This is a good book, written by one of the most competent guides on Rainier. It gives you the classic route (of which there are several variants) which I will hopefully attempt this spring and some much more challenging routes that involve much slogging through snow and crevasses which are only for... more info

Ed Viesturs is one of the top mountain climbers in the world.

Colorado 14er Disasters:: Victims of the Game
from Johnson Books
Price: $10.34

Customer Review:

This slim volume presents in-depth stories of accidents and rescues on 14,000' peaks in Colorado. Every single story illustrates avoidable human error.
Weather is the single biggest threat in the mountains. The top of a 14er is a blast in the warm sunshine; it is a terrible place in hail, snow,... more info

The Sierra High Route: Traversing Timberline Country
from Mountaineers Books
Price: $11.02

Customer Review:

My girlfriend and I now refer to this book as 'Stevie' after spending a month thru-hiking the SHR with it this fall. I'm not sure that Mr Roper would approve of having his name taken in vain, but we sure took a liking to his style and found that his words of wisdom quickly became our loyal... more info

Customer Review:

I was very apprehensive about climbing Kilimanjaro, even though i always wanted to, until i read Mr. Stewart's book.
The book put me at ease, with its comprehensive description of the routes, the dangers, and the joys.
Though nothing compares to the real experience, 'Kilimanjaro, A... more info

The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails
from Mountaineers Books
Price: $135.91

Customer Review:

I've used the book to plan several 3-7 day long cross-country treks in the High Sierras. I am not a climber, so I kept it simple at class 2-3 passes and peaks. It required doing my own homework with a USGS map. The information is kept to the minimum, i.e. it shows the difficulty of a pass, its... more info

This book was the basis for Jtree climbing knowledge for years...Now that Randy Vogel already has another guidebook out (which is really good by the way!) and is releasing another one this upcoming January (2008) this book may become out-dated, but still a really good tool if you lack the two new... more info

Glacier Mountaineering: An Illustrated Guide to Glacier Travel and Crevasse Rescue
from Falcon
Price: $9.59

Customer Review:

In my opinion a good book must be informative and it needs to keep your interest. This book does both. 90 percent of this book is illustrated with cartoon figures with arrows pointing to all the details (actually more detailed that a photo could be). At first glance you might think this book doesn't... more info
