(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Pete's Wicked Book (Paperback)

On reading the gritty trip reports in Takeda's book, my first reaction was that this is what Duane's El Capitan book is missing. Takeda's rather dystopian reality will seem right to many climbers, even those who avoid sick aid and tottering ice pillars. Most of these essays have been previously published in Climbing magazine, so it's surprising that the editing is so bad: it's full of typos. Nevertheless, this is a book well worth picking up.
