Beyond the Vertical

After many years, a new edition of Kor’s classic autobiography is back in print. Kor was one of the best rock climbers of his generation, and his list of groundbreaking ascents of technically difficult rock climbs is perhaps unmatched by any American climber. In this book Kor tells the stories in his own words of these pioneering and suspenseful climbs. Supplementing his narrative are more than 20 accounts by other leading climbers of the 1960s and 1970s describing ascents with Kor - Beckey, Bonington, Robbins, Rowell, and others. See Neate K46.
