Synopsis

Sinclair (English, Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington) writes of his adventures on Mt. McKinley, The Tetons, Mexico, and his years of employment as a ranger at Grand Teton National Park. His writing is witty, clear, even elegant. The period, 1959 to 1970, saw the stirring of American interest in rock climbing, and the Tetons as a special place to meet other climbers, practice and polish technique. Fine book.

About this title

Review

"Pete Sinclair faces the high stakes of a sport that deals out life and death both on the mountain and among personal relationships. An honest and refreshing addition to the American mountain canon."
--Mikel Vause, author of On Mountains and Mountaineers and editor of Rock and Roses

"Sinclair's dramatic, well-told narrative encompasses a climb up Mt. McKinley in Alaska, a sometimes perilous trek to Mexico, and many tales of life as a ranger, including some poignant and not always successful rescue efforts."
--Publisher's Weekly
