joe_catellani Posted January 28, 2001 Posted January 28, 2001 "Pushing the Limits, the story of Canadian Mountaineering" is something like "Climbing in North America" by Chris Jones, on steroids. Its coffee table size book on Canadian mountaineering with hundreds of pics. Covers early days to modern hard core routes. if you're into climbing in canada this book is very inspiring. The Mountaineers Bookstore and Chessler Books are selling it for about $40, Amazon tries to rip you for $65. Chessler has a no question return policy, including return postage back. check it out!

philfort Posted January 28, 2001 Posted January 28, 2001 Oops, I got ripped for $65 by Amazon. Oh well, still worth the price, this is an excellent (and very heavy and comprehensive) book, highly recommended. It's got some American content too, since a lot of American climbers came and pilfered the cool hard routes in the cdn Rockies from the locals ) Great photographs, especially the selection of colour photos at the beginning of the book.

rollin'_thunder Posted February 1, 2001 Posted February 1, 2001 I would love to find this book if anyone can tell me where to find it, since i'm one of those Americans that pilfered some of those cool routes Quote
Ade Posted February 2, 2001 Posted February 2, 2001 Joe's original post gives details. Chessler Books (I've used them loads - highly recommended). The Mountaineers What did you pilfer? Ade Quote
Dru Posted February 8, 2001 Posted February 8, 2001 Hey -it's not just Americans pilfering routes in the Rockies he's got Canadians like Hugh Burton and Peter Croft pilfering routes in Yosemite as well (although he missed out Croft's pilfering in Washington I guess because he doesn't think climbing in Wash. is pushing any limits...
