Welcome
If you hike, climb, trek, ski, run, bike or snowshoe above 8,000 feet, this is the book for you. Here's what I've done for you in this book:
- I've read and digested all of the recent scientific research on high altitude physiology,
- I've read over 130 books by high altitude adventurers and extracted the wisdom and useful techniques,
- and I've applied the lessons I've learned from 30 years of high altitude travel.
I've taken all of this information and laid out the science and art of high altitude in a way that is accessible, interesting, and accurate.
