Product Description
Product Description
The award-winning World Mountaineering is now available in paperback. In the book, the world's leading mountaineers describe 50 spectacular peaks from around the world - their routes, their challenges, their climbing history, as well as compelling climbing experiences to inspire all who are enthralled by these most awesome of nature's creations. Few activities can push people to the edge of their physical endurance or strength of character, but mountaineering is one of them. World Mountaineering captures the essence of this exhilarating sport, with personal accounts of many of the world's most testing climbs and rare insights into the lives of those who dare to defy nature's most awesome challenges. More than 50 of the world's most daunting mountains - from Mount Everest in Asia to Grand Teton in North America to Kilimanjaro in Africa - are featured, each with a detailed topographical description, a timeline showing its climbing history, aerial maps, practical information on undertaking a climb, and an inspiring feature article written by a renowned climber sharing their personal experience of ascents there.
