Fourteeners for the Rest of Us Kim Fenske Jd

[FULL COLOR VERSION] Colorado Fourteeners can be difficult and dangerous summits to reach. Hiking guides and trip reports for the 14,000-foot peaks often make these mountains seem deceptively easy to climb and safe for casual recreation. Descriptions of the standard approaches often assume that those ascending these peaks are experienced mountaineers who drive high-clearance vehicles. This book is designed for the rest of us who lack technical climbing skills and must hike extra miles to bag a summit because we park at a low-clearance trailhead. The purpose of this book is to provide guidance to those hikers with intermediate athletic ability and low-clearance vehicles to understand how to approach and hopefully survive exposure to the Colorado Fourteeners. [This is the full-color paperback book format.]
