Beginning with Hannibal's legendary crossing of the Alps and concluding with present-day firsthand accounts of Everest and K-2 expeditions, this engrossing collection presents 43 essays, poems, and reminiscences by artists and adventurers to whom climbing is more personal mission than sport.
Industry Reviews
We know Hannibal crossed the Alps, but what was it really like for his Army? These and other classic and rare treks at high altitude should elevate any reader. * Small Press Review *
