    • Climbing the Seven Summits: A Comprehensive Guide to the Continents' Highest Peaks measures 10 x 8.5 in.
    • For each mountain you can learn about documents and immunizations, expedition costs, training, guiding options, climbing styles and best seasons
    • Also learn about essential gear, day-by-day itineraries, summit routes, approach and camp maps, regional natural history, cultural notes and post-climb activities

    Whatever the reason, more and more people are attempting to climb the highest mountain on each continent—the renowned Seven Summits! If you’ve ever dreamed of climbing Denali or Everest, or joining the even more exclusive “7 Summiteers” club, then this guide is what you need to turn your dream into a reality.

    It can be daunting just knowing where to start when it comes to the 7 Summits. But with professional climber Mike Hamill as your guide, you will discover different approaches to tackling the list, as well as details on what you’ll need to plan an expedition and what to expect on each climb.

    Throughout you’ll also find helpful and inspiring stories from the likes of Conrad Anker, Vern Teja, Damien Gildea, Eric Simonson and other famed climbers. Special insider tips from Hamill, based on his years of experience, as well as full-color photographs of each peak round out this collectible guidebook. And, because there remains some controversy about whether Koscuiszko in Australia or Carstensz Pyramid on the island of New Guinea is the “7th Summit”, this guide to the 7 Summits actually covers 8 mountains!

    Imported.
