Customer Reviews

Accurate and evocative

I had the good fortune to climb as a client with Mr. Dick on one of the trips during which he photographed Denali. His book gives an accurate and thorough depiction of the mountain's the West Buttress route and a strong sense of scale and place. Aspiring climbers couldn't choose a better book for getting an impression of the terrain and a big dose of inspiration. For climbers who have been there, this book will bring back fond (or painful) memories. For non-climbers, the images are simply stunning. I own a lot mountain photography books and without a doubt this is my favorite book of photos of Denali.

A breathtaking collection of images and memories

Climb Denali is a breathtaking collection of images and memories by photographer and mountaineer Laurent Dick. The full-color photos perfectly capture the breathtaking beauty of North America's highest peak (20,320 feet); stunning imagery of clouds seen from above and mountain faces at sunset are interspersed with glimpses of dedicated climbers. Thoughtful quotations intersperse the panoramic images in this brief but beautiful treasury especially recommended for armchair travelers and nature lovers. "You have to make peace with death. Accepting and coming to terms with it is important when you climb. In our society, we often push it off. On the mountain, you realize how precious life is, you enjoy every day as a wonderful day."
