The best climbing guidebook,
By
This review is from: Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca Peru (Paperback)
Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca is simply the finest climbing guide I have ever seen. The maps, photography, route descriptions, and all the additional tips and resources are phenomenal. I'll probably end up needing two copies, one to take with me to Peru, and another as a coffee table showpiece after I return. I've climbed and traveled all over the world and have never found a more beautiful and invaluable climbing guidebook.

Great guide to an incredible range of mountains,
By
This review is from: Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca Peru (Paperback)
The Cordillera Blanca is one of the most incredible ranges of mountains in the world, and the climate is very friendly for climbing. Brad Johnson has done a great job of documenting the classic routes and his book inspired me to return. The maps and route descriptions are excellent and the photos are fabulous. If you aren't inclined to tackle 6,000 meter peaks, you can enjoy the great vistas from the comfort of your armchair. Dancing on the Edge of an Endangered Planet
