2000. 256 pp, photos. A magnificent celebration of all aspects of climbing, with contributions by Hillary, Messner, Diemberger, Heckmair, Bonington; 32 great climbers in all. New Large format hardcover with DJ. SIGNED by 7 great climbers and the editor: Bernadette McDonald. Chris Bonington, Jeff Lowe, Kurt Diemberger, Audrey Salkeld, Royal Robbins, Lynn Hill and Greg Child.

This large-format anthology showcases 32 important contemporary mountaineers--men and women from every continent, from teenagers to ninetysomethings, from the venerable Sir Edmund Hillary to the eponymously named rock climber Lynn Hill. Complemented by vivid black-and-white photographs, the autobiographical essays offer the mountaineers' observations on their careers as well as offering tidbits of mountaineering history and reflections on the future of the sport in the wake of the recent disaster on Everest (chronicled in Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air ).
