Detailed Product Description

San Francisco, Sierra Club, 1979, 1st edition. 324 pp, many b/w photos. Large format paperback. Very Good condition. Some edge wear, its been read (but not abused.)

The book is really a list, description and guidebook of the author's picks of the fifty finest rock, ice and mountain climbs in the USA and Canada. This book has become an American classic, and influenced many a climber. Even though climbing standards have risen incredibly since 1979, and due to personal conditioning and experience there are more people climbing higher mountains than ever before (look at Mt Everest today), many of the climbs in this book are still a goal for thousands of rock climbers and mountaineers.
