Detailed Product Description
Colorado, 2009. 176 pp. Scott-Bash, Mark, Fine. Fourteener mania, the phenomena characterized by a seemingly obsessive drive to summit the list of all fifty-four of Colorado s 14,000-foot peaks, is an older tradition than many may realize. Along with intensely positive experiences in climbing is the possibility of the opposite extreme to become stranded, severely injured, or even killed, in disturbingly easy ways. This book explores this dark side of climbing. When an accident happens on a 14er, the victim is far from help and in an environment where rescue is difficult at best. The book is full of hair-raising stories of these disasters and rescue attempts and also aids in avoiding such disasters. Mark Scott-Nash is a writer and Colorado native living in Boulder, and has extensive experience in all aspects of mountaineering and technical climbing, ranging from the local Colorado mountains to far-flung locations in Asia, South America, and Alaska. Mark has participated in more than one hundred search and rescue missions.
