"The Best of Ascent". Steve Roper, 1991. A veritable tour-de-force anthology from the world's most elite alpinist. Excerpts are from the best writing, from the world's most accomplished climbers, drawn from the very prestigious mountaineering journal, "Ascent". Many passages are taken from the golden age of mountaineering, -an exciting period of glamorous, unsummited peaks. Conquering the cold, icy, vertical world of the most difficult mountains marks a high point in mankind's achievement in exploration.
