Seller's Description:
Good. Size: 8x5x0; Signed by previous owner. Helps expose long-time accident patterns so future climbers can avoid repeating these climbing mistakes on Denali* Waterman has worked as a climbing ranger on Denali and speaks from first-hand rescue experienceIn his preface, Dr. Peter Hackett writes of Jonathan Waterman's motivations for writing Surviving Denali, "The motivation for writing this book is to dispel the myth of Denali as a cakewalk, and to help climbers prepare adequately for polar, high-altitude survival. By learning from the past, climbers can avoid similar problems; this is the goal of Surviving Denali."Waterman presents an in-depth analysis of altitude medical problems, frostbite, avalanche and fall injuries, and deaths on Denali in order to point out the mistakes that may have been made and methods that might have been used to prevent them. In further chapters Waterman also covers how to prepare properly for Denali. Waterman is mostly known for his Northern explorations, detailed in many of his books and countless journals since 1978. Beginning in 2007, the rivers of the Southwest began to call, with an extended journey and National Geographic Society research projects. For two ambitious water and river conservation expeditions, he lectured extensively, produced a comprehensive river map and a photography exhibit, then published two books, Running Dry and The Colorado River. His awards include Three Banff Festival "Best Book Adventure Travel", Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award 2005, NEA Literary Fellowship, Colorado State Council of the Arts Literary Award, The American Alpine Club Literary Award 1996, The National Park Service Special Achievement Award.
