I've previsouly read Krakaur's books "Into the Wild" and "Into thin air". I loved them. does anyone else know of some equally good, or better books like these? Fiction or non-fiction.

thanks

It's easy to make an expedition page nice, when decorated with photos stolen from other people.
Cheap bastards not even mailing asking fro permission or giving any credits.

From fieldtouring's Gasherbrum page. Many more than these:

Dayum, that's alot. Perhaps i didnt know the depth and scope of Summit Posts drawing power when I joined up. How long has SP been around, who/when/where did it start?

One of my hobbies is seeing wild animals so today I've seen some deers bellowing in Monte del Pardo, a Mediterranean forest near my home. We also have seen some bucks (of fallow deer) but the fact of hearing those yells was amazing. After having had a rainy day here in Madrid, Spain, our hike in that reserve has been very satisfactory.

Personally my limit is 4.810 m / 15,781 ft wich is the highest mountain that I've climbed, Mont Blanc, but I dream about other climbs for breaking my record. Elbrus is one of the mountains that I'd like to climb soon but there are many others as some in Africa, Andes and Himalaya, Africa. I'd like to know your limits and projects, take care.

I thought this would be an interesting Sunday evening topic, after we all return from our weekend activities. If you wish we can share here where we went. Would be interesting to me and I hope to the rest of You also.

For example I did not go to mountains this weekend because weather was not good but I spent day on the waterfalls of river Krka, which were amazing, so much water!

They were seen by Odell through a break in the cloud, at the first step of the NE Ridge (others say between the first and second of the two steep rocky steps that interrupt the ridge). What happened after that remains a mystery: they did not return and no ...
