The 11,000ers of the Canadian Rockies

This book is a climber’s guide to the range’s 54 peaks above 11,000 feet.
This comprehensive climber’s guide and history of the 54 11,000-foot peaks in
the Canadian Rockies celebrates in words and images these breathtaking summits
and the wilderness settings over which they tower. This book uniquely captures
and distills the lively-and frequently forgotten- accounts of the pioneering
climbers and their various routes. Each entry provides a vivid description of
the peak, an extensive history of the early ascents of it and a detailed
description of moderate to intermediate routes, including access and approach
information. Now extensively updated, the text is liberally illustrated with
route and climbing photos, both contemporary and historical, and includes
detailed area maps.
