Avalanches, lightening on moutaintops, high-altitude diseases, grizzly bears, the unpredictability of people under extreme stress, hypothermia, and even exploding volcanoes are some of the Rocky Horrors described in this refreshingly unconventional, hilarious, and unpretenious collection, combining climbing, travel, culture, and adventure. Peter Austen shows that the journey is at least as important as reaching the summit. Totally successful trips, where nothing life-threatening happens, are fine for guidebooks, but it is the sometimes unavoidable errors and accidents that make for gripping reading.

rocky,
By peterbrown (republic /wash) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocky Horrors, Frozen Smiles: A Mountaineer at the End of His Rope (Paperback)
an updated version of rocky horrors. Again an amazingly funny yet cautionary book. How come peter is still alive?
