Detailed Product Description
2017, 1st edition. 256 pp, photos. Hardcover with Dust Jacket.
There is no writing in the book or other flaws, and the dust jacket has no tears or chips and is not price clipped. The Dust Jacket is now protected by a removable clear plastic book cover that we call a Brodart, they are the book cover makers. The Dust Jacket and the Book are in Fine-New condition.
As a professional mountain climbing guide, it is Vern Tejas's job to climb and guide a client on the tallest mountain on each continent. Always rebellious, Tejas never met a challenge he couldn't overcome, even the daunting task of climbing Mount Everest. In fact, he climbed all of the tallest mountains on each of the seven continents more than ten times each.
(Ten climbs each of seven summits = seventy summits.) Seventy Summits
is his tale of the beauty, danger, and surprising freedom of mountain climbing and what it has given him throughout his life.
Tejas battled the extreme cold of Denali and scaled Aconcagua and its windy slopes. Mont Blanc provided beautiful views, but Tejas towered over the European continent on Mt. Elbrus. The Roof of Africa is attempted by 35,000 people each year, but Mt. Kilimanjaro wasn't as friendly as it looked. Antarctica's Mt. Vinson boasted the last true frontier at a steep price tag. As a guide, Tejas got paid to climb it. Mt. Koscuiszko, Australia's tallest mountain, was practically a stroll in the park at 7,310 feet. Finally, Tejas climbed the tallest mountain in the world: Mount Everest.
Then he climbed them all ten times each. Hence the title,
Seventy Summits.
