aconcagua. Denali. Elbrus. Everest. kilimanjaro. kosciuszko. Vinson. to a climber, these mountains are known as the “seven summits”—the highest peaks on each continent. and from antarctica to alaska, Nepal to tanzania, each year thousands of climbers from all over the world attempt at least one of them, while a growing number have plans to climb each and every mountain.

Drawing on years of experience, veteran seven summits mountain guide Mike Hamill describes overall considerations for expedition planning and high-altitude trips, gear recommendations, tips on international travel and logistics, and estimates of financial costs. In-depth descriptions of each of the seven summits include a regional map, a map of the primary climbing route or a route overlay on a photo, and a sample climbing itinerary that covers peak-specific technical climbing tips and what to expect on summit day. throughout Hamill’s descriptions, renowned alpinists offer their own advice: Eric simonson on Everest, Vern tejas on Denali, and Melissa arno on a female’s perspective of expedition planning. Hamill also includes complete information about the “other” seven summit, the Carstensz Pyramid in New guinea; climbing facts and figures for each peak; a history of the seven summits challenge; and a “compare and contrast” chart that reveals how the peaks stack up against each other.

From the first steps of trip dreaming, to figuring out gear and plane tickets, to kicking those final, sublime steps up to the snowy top of Denali or aconcagua—this is the one-and-only authoritative book to guide readers to all of the world’s seven summits.

Mike hamill is a year-round guide for International Mountain guides and the alaska Mountaineering school. He has traveled and climbed extensively on all seven continents, including at least two times up each of the big seven. through the course of a year Hamill regularly guides clients up each of the seven summits, and with his IMg colleagues he was recently featured on the Discovery Channel’s popular “Everest: Beyond the Limit.” He lives in seattle.

Aconcagua is the tallest mountain in the Western Hemisphere outside of the Himalayas. It sits entirely within Argentina just east of the border with Chile, some 90 miles (150 km) east of the Pacific Ocean at the same lati-tude south as San Diego in the United States is north. At 22,841 feet (6962 m), the “Stone Sentinel,” as Aconcagua is sometimes called, towers above all the other mountains in the Andes Mountains, including nearby giants Ameghino, Mercedario, and Tupungato. However, Aconcagua is a mere 204 feet (62 m) higher than its South American rival Ojos del Salado, in northern Chile, which for a time some thought to be higher. The name Aconcagua is derived from one of three sources, or possibly a combination of them. The Araucanos, a tribe native to Chile, named the river coming from Aconcagua’s west flank Aconca-Hue, meaning “It Comes from the Other Side.” The Ayamara people native to the Argentinean side called the mountain Kon-Kawa, meaning “Snowy Moun-tain.” The Incas called the peak Ancocahue, a combination of the words ancho for “white” and cahuac for “sentinel” in the Quechuan language.

ExcerptedfromThe Bar Mitzvah and the Beast

The next step was to add the panniers and trailer, and ride with weight. at this point, the tandem’s

metaphor, a Ford F350 truck, was jettisoned and replaced by the bike’s true name, the Beast. If it

was on the heavy side without panniers, there are no adjectives to describe it fully loaded. the

tired allusion of sisyphus did not do justice to pedaling the fully-loaded Beast up Cantelow. It was more akin to

pedaling through seven-inch-thick, newly-poured cement. We crawled up Cantelow at 3.2 miles per hour, the same

pace of my eighty-year-old mother’s daily constitutional. the silver lining: we didn’t need to get off and push.

the goal of a fifteen miles per hour average was discarded like a banana peel on the side of the road. twelve

miles per hour was the new goal, but doubtful. ten miles per hour seemed more likely. six hours of actual riding

time. With breaks and everything, probably on the road eight hours a day. In other words, good-bye to those

matinees. I didn’t care. Most summer movies suck.

While both Djina and Yonah’s bikes worked like the well-tuned machines they were, the Beast, well, I was not as

right as I could have been about buying a used tandem. this bike had been some couple’s workhorse for twenty

years and was tired and ready to go to pasture. Components failed on a regular basis. I replaced chains, shifters,

cables, and reconfigured the brakes. and still it got grumpy at times.

“You can still get a new bike,” Djina offered.

and admit I was wrong? Hah! Let facts dictate behavior? Never! sure the bike wasn’t perfect, but what did she

expect? It wasn’t new. It just needed some tLC. It was still significantly cheaper than a new bike, and it rode

pretty well except for the problems that brought me to curse it and get busted by the family’s language cop.

solomon’s mission was to stamp out curse words. If someone said, “D@+#!” “s&’†!” or other non-synagogue

word, he shouted, “Checkmark!” hoping that through his intervention we would clean our diction and substitute

approved exclamations such as “gosh darn!” But when you strain up a hill at three miles per hour, and need one

entire breath for every single pedal rotation, and you can’t take your hands off the handlebars long enough to

wipe the sweat stinging your eyes, and the hill becomes even steeper, and you steel yourself for more pain as you

shift into the lowest gear you have, and the chain decides at that moment, that very

moment, to leap off the chain ring and wedge itself between the chain ring and

the frame as if it had been superglued into place, and your pedals come to a dead

stop, and so do you, and you fall, and your knee, hand, and shoulder get bloodied,

and all those part replacements and adjustments you made over the last month

prove themselves worthless, then “gosh darn!” or “Jeez!” just won’t cut it. the

only words to act as balm are “gπ¿¿@+# mother”%¢<ing piece of s&’†!”

and then standing above his sprawled-out father is solomon, hands on hips.

“Checkmark, checkmark, checkmark.”

amateur bike rider, father of two, and everyday public school teacher Matt Biers-ariel never dreamed of riding a bike across the United states. But then his hard-to-impress teenage son, Yonah, refused to have a bar mitzvah as he approached age thirteen. No dancing with grandma or chanting traditional prayers? something had to be done to celebrate this rite of passage.

so Matt, his wife Djina, Yonah, and younger son solomon, decided to saddle up for a physical ride of passage—one that would take them 3,804 miles by bicycle from the waters of the Pacific Ocean, across the Rockies, through Midwest small towns, and all the way to Washington D.C. armed with ibuprofen, several gallons of gatorade, and one unpredictable tandem bike (the “Beast”), the Biers-ariel family pedaled across the middle of america, chatting with locals along the way, roasting marshmallows at campgrounds, and quarrelling over the state of climate change, religious identity, and several flat tires. they also collected thousands of signatures on a self-made global-warming petition calling for the United states to undergo its own rite of passage—one of energy conservation.

The Bar Mitzvah and the Beast is a funny, thoughtful memoir of one ordinary american family’s extraordinary journey by bicycle, and an enlightening, heart-warming exploration of the bond between a spiritual, nature-loving father and his ambivalent, computer-game loving son.

Matt Biers-Ariel claims to be “the author of four books, an above average English teacher, an excellent father (occasionally), and a fairly decent husband.” Prior to becoming a public school teacher, he held a variety of educational positions in the Jewish community. He lives in Davis, California.

From a 50-mile route around Orcas Island to an after-work ride through a Portland neighborhood, these new cycling guidebooks offer truly classic routes for two of the nation’s most bike-crazy states. Whether you’re soaring down a Cascade’s pass or pumping along a frothy sea coast, you can bet your bottom bracket that you’ll find miles of enjoyment in each of these 75 Classic Rides.

75 Classic Rides is the new Mountaineers Books series authored by passionate local cyclists who’ve put thousands of miles on their bikes to bring you the very best road cycling routes across their state. the focus is on one-day rides (a mix of loops and one-way courses), but you’ll also find suggestions for link-ups and some inspiring longer routes for touring, including at least one cross-state route. terrain varies from flat, paved trails to epic mountain challenges.

farther south where it will be best to keep ‘er

moving and get through quicklyAlong with

passing Larrabee State Park (Washington’s

first state park) and a couple high-end eater-

ies worth a return visit when you’re not so

spandex-clad, Chuckanut Drive offers several

pull-outs where you can enjoy the spectacular

vista.Once past Chuckanut Mountain, the road

immediately flattens out. You can thank the

Skagit River floodplain for that. But you only

get to enjoy it for a mile or so because soon

enough the route leaves Chuckanut Drive and

heads inland, up Colony Road, which climbs

gradually for the next 5 miles. A true country

road, the surface is a bit chip sealy and can be

rough. But, as is usually the case when roads

get chip-seal choppy, traffic is sparse.

Shortly after crossing under Interstate-5, the

route passes a service station-espresso-mini-

mart offering replenishment as well as rest-

rooms. Soon you’ll reach the rolling 6-mile

loop around Lake Samish, a popular swim-

ming, boating, and water-skiing hole. This

route does about two-thirds of the loop before

heading up and out of the Lake Samish basin

on the route’s one sustained climb. You’ll gain

460 feet over the next 3.5 miles with the first

half of the climb being the toughest.

From here, it’s mostly all downhill—some of

it steep, especially a section known as “The

Steps,” just past Lake Padden Park—for the

next 4 miles back to Fairhaven. Continue

north again on Boulevard and State streets to

complete the route in downtown Bellingham.

as the founders behind seattle Urban Farm Company, Colin McCrate and Brad Halm have heard it all: My backyard is too small; how can I make space for a garden? Do I really need to buy fertilizer? What on earth is that creature crawling on the tomatoes? My crops took off and the zucchini are in the sidewalk—who has time to harvest this all?! Food Grown Right, in Your Backyard is a primer for these questions and more.

In this full color, beautifully photographed guide, they prove that anyone can develop a ”green thumb,” as they show readers how to build a garden from the ground up, explain general gardening basics, discuss the best types of crops to try, and much more, including:

> garden size and design for any setting (no matter how small!), including container gardens

> soil types, watering and irrigation, and plant life 101

> Profiles of recommended vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and berries

> garden tools and time-saving rules

> Crop planning, tips on what to do with the harvest, and a garden calendar to keep your garden growing year-round

Q&a material, profiles of other beginner gardeners, and step-by-step instructions all come together in this unique, friendly guide that was inspired by the kinds of questions Colin and Brad hear every day on the job with seattle Urban Farm Co.

Colin McCrate and Brad halm started seattle Urban Farm Co. in the spring of 2007 to answer one simple question: “Does anybody need help setting up a vegetable garden?” turns out, quite a few. McCrate and Halm now live in seattle. Visit them at www.seattleurbanfarmco.com.

GARDEN PROFILES:What Do You Want from Your Garden?

One of the first things we do with every new customer is assess their prop-erty and help them decide which areas are best suited for a garden. We’ve visited hundreds of homes over the years, and believe it or not, we have never seen a yard in which growing food was impossible. While some prop-erties offer vast areas to work with and others provide only a small deck or porch, we’re convinced that nearly every home has the potential for growing at least a few fruits and vegetables.Choosing a site is only the first step, of course. Then comes deciding on the style and design of the garden, on how it will be watered, and so on. A variety of factors influence these decisions, and they vary from case to case. Once all that’s figured out, the real hands-on work begins.Following are profiles of five gardens we’ve built over the years (though the names of people and pets have been changed to protect the innocent). Although each is unique in its way, we’ve chosen these examples because they illustrate conditions we encounter again and again when people are set-ting up their first home gardens. Your scenario may not be exactly like any one of them, but certain elements are bound to sound familiar. Seeing how other people went about it will help you visualize your own home-gardening project.

The Roskelley Collection includes legendary climber John Roskelley’s three acclaimed books, together for the first time in one volume and all written with opinion, self-reflective humor, and spellbinding adventure. also included are two new essays about Roskelley’s more recent climbs with his son: an ice climb (Slipstream) in Colorado and a summit climb of Everest.

Stories off the Wall is Roskelley’s autobiography, told in a series of essays that includes accounts of attempts and ascents on the North Face of the Eiger, in the Russian Pamirs, in Yosemite, and in the Himalaya. Nanda Devi: The Tragic Expedition, a compelling and emotionally raw page-turner, chronicles the 1976 expedition, co-led by ad Carter and Willi Unsoeld, on which Unsoeld’s daughter, Nanda Devi Unsoeld, died on her eponymous mountain. Last Days recounts two legendary climbs in the Himalaya: one a successful first ascent of tawoche in Nepal with Jeff Lowe, the other an attempt on Menlungste with Jim Wickwire, greg Child, and Jeff Duenwald.

john Roskelley’s notable climbs include the 1973 third ascent of the northeast ridge of Dhaulagiri; the 1976 first ascent via the northwest face of Nanda Devi; and a 1989 new route on the northeast face of tawoche. Roskelley resides in spokane, Washington.

the publication of The Mountain of My Fear in 1968 and Deborah in 1970 changed the face of the mountaineering narrative. Now these two classic expedition narratives by acclaimed writer David Roberts are together again in one volume for a new generation of readers.

Deborah is the story of Roberts’s 1964 expedition with fellow Harvard Mountaineering Club member Don Jensen to the eastern side of Mount Deborah in alaska. the story tells not only what happened on the mountain, but what happened to the climbers and their friendship in the stark isolation, as each became totally dependent on the other for survival. In The Mountain of My Fear Roberts and

Jensen come together again. In this account, they and two other Harvard students attempt a first ascent of Mount Huntington via its treacherous west face. the story is one of a magnificent achievement, but also reveals how a perfect adventure can turn into tragedy in a single instant.

david Roberts is an accomplished mountaineer and the author of more than twenty books, including several published by the Mountaineers Books (Escape Routes, Moments of Doubt, Sandstone Spine). He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

a number of hikers contacted us to say that they loved our book, The Best Front Range Hikes, but they wanted more hikes south of Denver to the New Mexico border. For this southern edition, we asked the project manager of The Best Colorado Springs Hikes to hike, write, and photograph a guidebook for the southern Front Range.

The Best Southern Front Range Hikes includes 65 of the most superb hikes found anywhere in the state. the hikes were chosen for a number of reasons, including the beauty of the scenery, the variety of terrain, the quality of the hiking experience on the trail, and the fact that many of these trails don’t get used as much as the trails in other parts of the state. some are close to town while others are more remote. Many make excellent family outings while others challenge the seasoned mountaineer. all can be done in a day from at least one of the cities listed above.

Each description starts with some basic information about the hike, including elevation gain, difficulty level, and round-trip distance and time. these statistics are followed by comments on what to expect on the hike, directions to the trailhead, and a complete route description, including photos from the route and a color topo of the trail.

Greg Long is a hiker and climber who has thru-hiked the Colorado trail and summited high peaks throughout the world. He teaches high school and lives in Palmer Lake, Colorado.

the Rocky Mountains from northern New Mexico through southern alberta are collectively referred to as the “spine of the continent.” along the flanks of this spine you will find an array of stunningly beautiful wildflowers. Rocky Mountain Wildflowers includes 150 of the most “showy,” beautiful, colorful, and striking wildflowers based on years of observation. the range of wildflowers runs from the deep red Plains Prickly Pear in the foothills to delicate purple Fairy slippers in the deep moist subalpine forests.

Each plant is described by its common name, its scientific name, and then by the appearance of the stem, leaves, and flower and the most likely plant life zones where it may be found.

jim Ells, retired associate professor of horticulture at Colorado state University, has spent a lifetime identifying and cataloging Rocky Mountain wildflowers. Photographer Marlene Borneman has worn through several sets of boots and cameras collecting stunning images of wildflowers up and down the spine of the continent.

Often overlooked by those cruising the highway to spokane or the tri-Cities area, more than 2,000 square miles of terrain in eastern Washington are home to a striking collection of sharp-edged coulees slicing through a crust of basalt. In this stunning landscape, deep lakes fill the depths of dramatic gorges flanked by steep walls of towering rock columns, labyrinthine geological channels, and wide tracts of scabby rock that give the region its name—no other region in the world contains geological features like those found in the Channeled scablands.

Where-to guidebook and travel narrative come together in Washington’s Channeled Scablands Guide to offer a comprehensive and intimately knowledgeable tour of this one-of-a-kind region. Local writer and historian John soennichsen is your guide to fascinating lore; snapshots of the unique towns connected by this singular landscape; descriptions of the fabulous geology; advice on how to explore whether by auto, horseback, canoe, bike, or on foot; and essential info about where to fuel up and stop for dinner.

take the family to scenic camping and fishing in Coffeepot Lake and read out loud the legend of Old West outlaw Harry tracey as you cruise along on a ”Back Roads auto tour.” Lace up your boots for a cross-country hike in the Juniper Dunes Wilderness area or up Badger Mountain trail. Explore the unearthly crater-like formations in the telford–Crab Creek tract, or set up with your camera for a stunning sunrise over Palouse Falls. Whether you’re a boater looking for new waterways to explore, a naturalist interested in unique ecosystems, or just a curious traveler—if you’re seeking adventure and intrigue just a little off the beaten path, you’ll find the keys to a whole new world of exploration with Washington’s Channeled Scablands Guide.

john Soennichsen is the author of Live! From Death Valley and Bretz’s Flood, the biography of Harlen Bretz, the first geologist to research the scablands and propose the theory of its creation by massive flooding. soennichsen is a member of the Ice age Floods Institute and lives just outside the eastern Washington town of Cheney, along the rim of a prominent scabland channel.

Originally set aside by President Harding in 1923 as a back-up resource for military fuel needs, the National Petroleum Reserve–alaska is home to half a million migrating caribou, countless migrating birds from all over the world, and, surprisingly, one of the largest polar dinosaur fossil beds in the arctic. the Reserve is also the largest piece of undisturbed public land in the United states—yet few outside of alaska have ever heard of it.

On Arctic Ground, from Braided River, the conservation imprint of Mountaineers Books, features a series of vignettes written by well-loved alaskan author Debbie s. Miller (Midnight Wilderness) about the astonishing array of wildlife she has encountered over many seasons exploring the Reserve. additionally, former secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt writes the book’s preface, drawing on his years of experience managing both the economic and biological resources of the Reserve.

Miller’s vignettes are accompanied by images from an array of award-winning conservation photographers. the book also features essays and insight from alaskan writers and science authorities—including wildlife biologist Jeff Fair and senior audubon alaska scientist John schoen—as well as an essay and audio download by noted alaska writer and soundscape artist Richard Nelson. Paleontologists Jack Horner and Patrick Druckenmiller share the most recent research and remarkable discoveries associated with dinosaur studies in the alaskan arctic.

this book will serve as a platform to bring greater public awareness to the opportunities for permanently preserving the significant biological areas and wildlife that thrive within the Reserve. Braided River will collaborate with the alaska Wilderness League to bring this story to members of Congress, the media, and the general public. Visit www.braidedriver.org to learn more.

debbie S. Miller has lived in northern alaska for nearly forty years, and she has worked to protect the arctic lands from industrial development for two decades. Her writings and photography have been published in a variety of newspapers, magazines, and books, including the acclaimed Midnight Wilderness, as well as Seasons of Life and Land and Arctic Wings: Birds of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. she is also the author of many award-winning books for children. she lives in Fairbanks, alaska.
