Eiger Dreams
by Jon Krakauer
I've been a fan of Krakauer's work since I first read "Into the Wild" and "Into Thin Air," and he doesn't disappoint with "Eiger Dreams."
I was expecting stories mostly about Himalayan climbs, but was pleasantly surprised to find stories about bouldering, canyoneering, waterfall climbing, Alaskan summits, and glacier aviation.
With his usual captivating voice, Krakauer teaches the reader (from seasoned climbers to those who've never stepped foot on a mountain) incredible things about both the physical and mental processes of climbing.
