review 1: This is a biography of an Alaskan Mountaineering Pioneer and one of the greatest nature photographers ever, and it's written by my favorite climbing writer. Unfortunately, it's a bit more geeky of a climbing history than I would have liked (to introduce his climbing partners for a particular expedition, Roberts would then describe the climbing histories of each expedition member and it would get rather lengthy and off-topic). Anywho, enjoyable book, but not the greatest.
review 2: Even if you are not into the outdoors, mountaineering , or adventure you will enjoy this incredible bio on Brad Washburn, one of THE innovators and most respected mountaineers ever.Author David Roberts does a wonderful job in letting the reader know what Brad Washburn is all about wit
... moreh a life history that is rich and and filled with adventure that you just don't get anymore. Wonderful photos fill the book. What a life, what a history!Beau SmithThe Flying Fist Ranch less
