Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men and Mountains is a non-fiction short story collection by Jon Krakauer concentrating on mountaineering and rock climbing. All the chapters have been published before between 1985 and 1987 in the magazines Outside and Smithsonian.

The stories describe a variety of topics, from ascending the Eiger Nordwand in the Alps, Mount McKinley in Alaska or K2 in the Karakoram to the well-known rock climbers Jon Krakauer has met on his trips, such as John Gill or the Burgess brothers, Adrian and Alan. He also describes other extreme sports, such as canyoneering or climbing frozen waterfalls.
