New in New jacket. New old stock; in publisher's shrinkwrap. Scarce in original edition. Rarely offered in this condition. Layton Kor (June 11, 1938-April 21, 2013) was an American rock climber active in the 1960s, whose first ascents and drive for climbing are well known in the climbing world. His routes included many climbs in Eldorado Canyon, near Boulder, Colorado, The Diamond on Longs Peak, towers in the desert southwest, and Yosemite National Park, among other locations. Notable among his first ascents is the Kor-Ingalls Route on Castleton Tower and The Finger of Fate Route up the Fisher Towers' Titan; both routes are recognized in the historic climbing text Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. Kor also authored the book Beyond the Vertical. Kor received the 2009 American Alpine Club's Robert & Miriam Underhill Award for outstanding climbing achievement. "Layton left his mark at every major American climbing area in the sixties-the Gunks, Yosemite Valley, Longs Peak and Rocky Mountain National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Monument Valley, the desert around Moab and even obscure places from Connecticut to Arizona. He put a narrow canyon south of Boulder called Eldorado on the map, doing routes just for practice that are now time-honored classics."
