Critic reviews
"As hard-edged and gripping as the peaks themselves." (Climbing)
"... the stories unwind as though the reader were front-pointing up a Himalayan serac or hanging by a nubbin in an Arizona canyon." (Snow Country)

After reading Into The Wild as one of the first adult books I ever read as a kid back in the '90s, and after Into Thin Air more recently, and then after reading some of Ed Viesturs' words about Jon, I feel I know him personally.
He here does great work telling tales of adventure, obsession and loss. This is another confirmation to me, only a novice mountaineer, of the danger climbing entails.
Great stories. Narration could use some polishing.

the Eiger, but also has a number of stories about ice climbing in Alaska, climbing El Capitan in Yosemite and big rock climbing in Chamonix. Great stories of very interesting climbing characters !
Great stories from Jon’s young climbing days
