Why does the activity of mountaineering produce so much literature? From straightforward narratives of ascents to meticulous self-examination to spiritual reveries, climbing prompts men and women to pour forth essays, articles, and books that are unlike any other field of literature. Here is an adrenaline-infused collection of some of the finest climbing stories ever assembled. Noted mountaineer and climber Cameron M. Burns and Kerry L. Burns bring together tales of mountaineers involved in the world's most important early climbs. These intriguing adventures include Francesco Petrarch's The Ascent of Mount Ventoux, Henry David Thoreau's Mount Katahdin, Edward Whymper's The First Ascent of the Matterhorn, and much more.
