Mountaineering in Patagonia

The best book on the area available in English. A valuable introduction for
those planning a visit. Good historical commentaries, useful mountain photos.
The author has combined a thorough history of the ascents of the major peaks
with forceful accounts of his own climbs on these same peaks. From his
pictures and personal experiences, we gain an intimate sense of these fabulous
mountains. And from the history, we too can visualize the great events, the
storms, the bivouacs, the inevitable tragedies, the human drama which has
unfoldedñand continues to unfoldñamong these mountains.
