Andy Hall, a journalist and son of the park superintendent at the time, was living in the park when the tragedy occurred and spent years tracking down rescuers, survivors, lost documents, and recordings of radio communications. In Denali's Howl, Hall reveals the full story of the expedition in a powerful retelling that will mesmerize the climbing community as well as anyone interested in mega-storms and man's sometimes deadly drive to challenge the forces of nature.

A riveting journey through the history of mountaineering - before Everest.

Rainer Zitelmann's book explores how people with disabilities accomplish the extraordinary in life and set milestones that seem almost impossible even to most people without disabilities. Zitelmann profiles 20 unique individuals, all of whom have achieved far more than the average, often almost the superhuman, even though their disabilities supposedly endowed them with few opportunities and made them, in many respects, dependent on the people around them.The book reveals the secrets of success and the power of the mind for everyone. We learn what makes a person great: it is the ability to transform one's weaknesses into strengths and overcome supposed limitations.As Saliya Kahawatte, the blind man whose life story inspired the film My Blind Date with Life, writes in the foreword: "If you like, you can consider this book a treasure trove of human diamonds. We all know that every rare gem was once an ordinary piece of coal that withstood tremendous pressure over a long period of time, becoming ever harder and purer, and only achieving its unique brilliance through precise cutting and polishing. It's time to go diamond prospecting!"The Author: Rainer Zitelmann is a historian, sociologist and multiple bestselling author, who published 26 books. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages around the world. In recent years, he has written articles and been the subject of interviews in leading media such as Wallstreet Journal, Forbes and Newsweek.

Written by award-winning author and climber Andy Kirkpatrick, 'On the Line' is the first book dedicated to the subject of top rope soloing, covering all current theory, technique and equipment.

Highly entertaining, idea-packed, and loaded with practical techniques and strategies, Training for Climbing presents a distillation of thirty years of experience and experimentation by accomplished veteran climber, renowned author, and performance coach Eric J. Horst. This is an illustrated, how-to guide, and the only one climbers will need.

When Dorothy Pilley first began climbing in the 1910s, female mountaineers were seen as a dangerous liability, their achievements ignored, unrecorded or disbelieved. Undeterred, Dorothy proved herself on the vertiginous slopes of Wales, Scotland and the Lake District before tackling rock faces in the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Rockies, Mount Fuji and the Himalayas. Her tireless championing of fellow women climbers and her own trailblazing example helped establish female alpinists as serious mountaineers with impressive records on bravery, skill and endurance. First published in 1935, Climbing Days tells a daredevil tale of adventure, near-death slips and rapturous achievement in high places, interleaved with moments highlighting the particular challenges of being a woman in a sport seen as the province of men.
