The world‘ s great mountaineers on the future of climbing: looking back at
\nclimbing‘ s mile- stones and forward to new challenges. Celebrating 25 years
\nof The Banff Mountain Film Festival. <\/p>\n
This large-format anthology showcases 32 important contemporary mountaineers–
\nmen and women from every continent, from teenagers to ninetysomethings, from
\nthe venerable Sir Edmund Hillary to the eponymously named rock climber Lynn
\nHill. Complemented by vivid black-and-white photographs, the autobiographical
\nessays offer the mountaineers‘ observations on their careers as well as
\noffering tidbits of mountaineering history and reflections on the future of
\nthe sport in the wake of the recent disaster on Everest (chronicled in Jon
\nKrakauer’s Into Thin Air ). Some of the essays contain a bit too much
\nmountaineering jargon for those not close to the sport, but in general, this
\nvolume not only serves as a useful introduction to the superstars of
\nmountaineering, but also offers considerable insight into just what climbers
\nmean when they say they climbed a mountain ‚because it was there.‘ The volume
\nwas published in conjunction with the Banff Centre for Mountain Culture to
\ncelebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Banff Mountain Film Festival. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
