"Mountain humor oftentimes comes from people who suffer and have a helluva hard time and still come back alive." Paul Petzoldt knew from personal experience. Teton Tales begins with his near fatal climb of the Grand Teton in 1924. What follows is a collection of stories that trace his trail full of switchbacks from the Tetons to Toledo, from Wyoming to Windsor Castle, from Mount Moran to the Matterhorn, and everywhere in between. For years Petzoldt thrilled audiences with his colorful storytelling and unique voice. Enjoy many of his classic "anecdotes" and some never before heard tales.

Terrific stories from a pioneer of American mountaineering.,
By Dr. Gonzo (Albuquerque, NM) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teton Tales: And Other Petzoldt Anecdotes (Paperback)
This is not just another climbing narrative from an alpine athlete. Petzoldt is a fascinating character whose breezy anecdotes say a lot about the development of Wyoming in the early part of the century, about human nature, what it means to be an adventurer, and even a little about class struggle in our supposedly classless society. It's a quick read I think climbers and non-climbers alike will enjoy.
