5.0 out of 5 stars
The Heights
A read of interest for peakbaggers and armchair mountaineers and others interested in adventure- some chapters more compelling than others by various authors. Many of the photographs are simply outstanding and successfully relate their very dramtic locations.

nice pictures but the stories...
The concept of this book is great but does suffer in the implementation. Many of the pictures are excellent and provide wonderful imagery for the authors' related experiences. One of its most interesting aspects comes at the beginning with the revelation that the Carstensz Pyramid is a part of Asia yet Morrow still insists that it is the continent of Australia's highest...

This review is from: Seven Summits (Hardcover)
The concept of this book is great but does suffer in the implementation. Many of the pictures are excellent and provide wonderful imagery for the authors' related experiences. One of its most interesting aspects comes at the beginning with the revelation that the Carstensz Pyramid is a part of Asia yet Morrow still insists that it is the continent of Australia's highest peak... simply due to proximity, how bizarre? With the exception of the stories from Doug Scott and Gerry Roach I found the others of moderate interest, often ending with the feeling that these peaks were beneath their capabilities and were climbed simply for their commercial value. Overall interesting yet somewhat disappointing.
