Summary: Recommended
Comment: This book is an anthology of articles published in Rock and Ice, with an emphasis on fairly recent work. They are primarily trip reports and essays. Detailed description of the sort of climbing which often doesn't get much press gives many of the articles a fresh, interesting quality. In addition, they have only previously been published in the magazine, so they will be new to many readers. Definitely recommended!

Rating: 5
Summary: This book is simply not long enough
Comment: I could have devoured five times as many of the fine stories written here as I had the good fortune to read. The variety of subject matter, coupled with the strong voices of the authors, make this book wonderfully appealing.

Rating: 5
Summary: Constant surprises
Comment: The best thing about this anthology is the range of subject matter, from bouldering to mountaineering, from young sport climbers to veteran alpinists. Every story gives a different view of climbing. It's also filled with good humor, from John Long to the crazy story about the guy on a road trip with his pet monkey.
