Seller's Description:
Like New in Very Good jacket. One of our preeminent alpinists and dimbing writers has collected some of the most fascinating, evocative, and humorous comments into one volume, capturing the essence of this challenging and diverse sport. Writings from some of the best writers in the field--Jon Krakauer, Heinrich Harrer, Maurice Herzog, Joe Simpson, Elizabeth Knowlton, Reinhold Messner, Alison Osius, and many others--brilliantly provide an intimate portrait of the how and why of the sport. "The Quotable Climber" also offers a fascinating look into the world of climbing from those who have written very little and those who have never gone higher than where the stairs or an elevator deposited them. Derived from hundreds of books, as well as magazines, journals, the Internet, remembered lectures, and even videotapes, these entries proffer a one-of-a-kind insight into the romanticism, motivation, and discipline of climbing. With selections that explore the tragedies and triumphs as well as acts of profound will and sacrifice, this is truly a book that will inspire and enlighten the experienced climber as well as the legions of armchair readers thrilled by adventure literature.
