Detailed Product Description

San Francisco, Sierra Club, 1979, 1st edition. 324 pp, many b/w photos. Large format 12'' tall paperback. Fine condition. 

This copy has never been sold until now, and has had only one owner, editor of the old Summit Magazine. Her family has decided to part with many of the books the magazine was sent for review. It has never been in a new or used bookshop so it is spotless inside and out.

This edition has a tendency to show edge wear when it has been read a few times. This copy has no wear whatsover.

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 more difficult rock and ice climbs, and higher, harder and more higher than ever before (look at the today.) many of the climbs in this book are still a goal for thousands of rock climbers and mountaineers.
