This special, signed, deluxe edition book was produced for the internationally acclaimed Banff Mountain Book and Film Festival in 2000. The Festival featured a most impressive gathering of the world’s foremost mountaineers, each of whom have written a chapter in this book. The signatures of Breashears, Child, Salkeld, Scott, and Viesturs are on paper slips inserted in the book as they were not present for the signing. Sadly, ten of these mountaineers have now passed away.
