Customer Reviews

Haven't read it yet.

Canadian climber/photographer and author Jim Haberl was killed last week outside of Anchorage, Alaska. He is Alaska's twelfth victim of an avalanche this year. Interest in his book should increase and I am no exception. I especially want to read his book now that the thing he loved the most has claimed his life. He was 41 years old.

Adventure , in your living room!

You need no experience of mountaineering to enjoy and appriciate this book . Lavishly illustraited it tells some compelling , funny and most importantly exciting stories that really get you involved , a top read!

Five captivating stories

Jim Haberl's second book 'Risking Adventure', details five personal accounts of climbs/treks around the world. You need not be a climber to enjoy this book; Jim's a natural storyteller, and you will experience suspense, joy, sadness, and laughter. The photography, also Jim's, is incredible, and provides further insight to the extremes Jim has experienced.
