Here is a collection of interviews with 15 famed mountain climbers and three historians of the sport. Covering international climbing in all its aspects, including rock-face climbing, ice climbing, and high-summit ascension, these mountaineers relate their experiences, the challenges and risks of their chosen sport, and the compelling drive to engage in a difficult, expensive activity. Interviewees include: Stacy Allison Pete Athans Brent Bishop Christine Boskoff Carlos Buhler Charlotte Fox Charles S. Houston Kenneth Kamler Jamling Tenzing Norgay Rick Ridgeway John Roskelley Barbara Washburn Eric Weihenmayer Jim Wickwire Sharon Wood Elizabeth Hawley Maurice Isserman Audrey Salkeld About the Authors Frederic V.
