5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book that inspires and calms at the same time.
The collection of factual and fictional stories captures the essence of mountains and of the people who try to climb them. It contains electric stories of survival and breathtaking introspectives that indirectly try to answer the question of why people risk their lives to reach the top. Its an excellent book for a panoramic view of the mountain climbing world

This review is from: Tales from the Steep: John Long's Favorite Climbing Literature (Paperback)
Another anthology of John Long's favorite climbing literature. This compendium includes excerpts from books and articles from climbing magazines. Some of the material is repeated from his other collections. His essay, `The Green Arch', seems to be in all his books as a matter of course. If you're a fan of climbing literature, you'll probably have a lot of the selections included from the original source, I did. However, Long did turn me on works that are out-of-print and/or hard to find in their original form. For this reason this anthology is a worthy addition to anyone's bookshelf.
