Drawing from decades of memories, journals, and an exquisite photographic collection, Washburn completes the self-portrait of a man drawn to altitude, from his first great climb of Mount Washington at age eleven, through numerous first ascents of peaks all over the world, to handily scaling a climbing wall at eighty-eight. Indeed, Washburn also became renowned for his pioneering work in aerial photography, his dedication to science and cartography, his decades of leading Boston’s Museum of Science, and his close association with the National Geographic Society. This mountaineering icon candidly offers an intimate look at a life devoted to the world’s highest places, to the friends who challenged the mountains with him, and to wife Barbara, who shared his adventures for nearly sixty-five years.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 18mmAuthor: Bradford WashburnContributor: Lew Freedman (Contributions by)Genre: Sports & HobbiesItem Weight: 15.8 ouncesgISBN-10: 0882409077Type: AmericasTopic: HistoryRelease Year: 2013 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
