kevino Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I'm just about to finish up Beyond the Mountains by Steve House and was hoping people could suggest some similar books. Particularly in regards to modern style alpine climbs. And yes, I've read Twight's books. Thanks all. Quote
Pete_H Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 I'd recommend the Boardman Tasker Omnibus. In particular, Peter Boardman's "The Shining Mountain." But don't take my word for it. Quote
olyclimber Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Second on the Omnibus...one of my favorite books. There is a older thread with an extensive list of great books....someone should dig that up. Quote
olyclimber Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 sorry for the thread drift, but here was the thread I was talking about...drift because not limited to "modern" (or even alpine) climbing. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/993541/1 Quote

ColinB Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Have you read Psychovertical and Cold Wars? Andy Kirkpatrick is a self-proclaimed wingnut and writes damn well too. Quote
