"This is literature about the soul of alpinism, not a blow-by blow account of dumbing drudgery from some tourist peak bagger."

MARK TWIGHT is one of America's leading alpinists. His gripping accounts have been published around the world and translated into five languages. He is also the author of the best-selling book Extreme Alpinism: Climbing Light, High and Fast, from The Mountaineers Books.
