Description: The most iconic 14er in the country--and the highest mountain in the contiguous United States--California's 14,505-foot Mt. Whitney positively radiates in the Sierra Nevada, beckoning hikers from around the world to summit its granite massif. Each year, thousands of people climb to the top. For many, the hike up Whitney is a once-in-a-lifetime tick on their outdoor activity list. The most popular route to the summit is the 22-mile round-trip Mt. Whitney Trail, with an elevation gain of more than 6100 feet. Although the hike is non-technical, following well-graded trail the whole way, would-be hikers need to be prepared for the altitude, long distance, elevation gain, mountain weather, and other potential dangers before they embark on this trip. Author and seasoned Sierra hiker Elizabeth Wenk provides the authoritative, step-by-step guide to planning and completing this superb hike with safety advice, insider information, detail, and reassurance found nowhere else. From pre-trip advice to on-the-trail tips, this guide is aimed at both casual and experienced hikers.

Description: Finally back in print is the best historic guide to the fantastic but somewhat camouflaged Uncompahgre Plateau, one of the largest mountains in the American West. With so little written and so little known about such a large part of western Colorado, this reprint is a much requested resource for the foot, auto or armchair traveler. Swift moving, light and casual in style, the book is nevertheless based on careful research. Photography, liberally illustrating the narrative, is also by the author. The Uncompahgre Mountain covers almost 2,000 square miles of western Colorado from Ridgway to Grand Junction. This new edition of the book includes a map and an index to further help the traveler explore the slashing canyons, weird geology and typography, vast horizons and interesting history that is the Uncompahgre Plateau. Requested continually by tourists, travelers and serious collectors of Colorado's history and geology alike, this new release of Muriel Marshall's Uncompahgre, will thrill them all.

Description: In March 1945, a smart but rowdy British officer named Tom Harrisson parachuted into the Borneo Highlands and set about organizing an army of headhunters to battle the Japanese invaders. He knew the difficult country a little, having been there on a scientific expedition before the war, but now, "shepherded to the island by the world's most lucrative sponsor, the Dogs of War," he had to learn its secrets, and quickly. In 1958, Harrisson wrote a memoir, World Within, chronicling his time on the island. Looking for new places to explore, Wyoming rock-scrambler Sam Lightner and his German climbing partner happened on Harrisson's book, studied it closely, and, with four other "dirt-bag" climbers, went off to Borneo to find the peak of their dreams in the cloud forests, in country that maps "tinted gray and labeled 'All Elevations Unknown'." Battling unusual elements--including having to "cough up the larvae of echinococcosus" and dodge giant snakes, to say nothing of the area's still-active headhunting bands--they found it, scaled the spire called Batu Lawi, and lived to tell the tale. Their exploits form the heart of Lightner's good-natured narrative, which draws on Harrisson's own account of jungle warfare to become a work of history as much as outdoors travel. Climbers, students of World War II, and armchair adventurers alike will enjoy his report. --Gregory McNamee
