The 11000ers: Of The Canadian Rockies

This climber’s guide and history of all 54 of the 11,000-foot peaks in the Canadian Rockies celebrates in words and images these breathtaking summits and the wilderness settings in which many are located. It captures and distills the lively and frequently forgotten accounts of the pioneering ascents and their various routes.

Each entry provides a vivid description of each peak, an extensive history of its first ascents, and a detailed description of one or two moderate to intermediate routes, including access and approach information. The text is liberally illustrated with route and climbing photos, both contemporary and historical, and area maps.
