some of paul petzoldts great mountaineering stories

this book has a bunch of pauls interesting stories. he's a real character and has a great sense of humor. i got to sit down with him and talk to him about a month ago and he is one amazing man.

Terrific stories from a pioneer of American mountaineering.

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.
