Distant Peaks |
"Reading Peter Lens' book, I felt like I was peering into the mind of my clients. Needless to say, the experience was instructive for a guide who has led over 120 expeditions. Peter captured the power of
the expedition experience: from a climber's pre-trip anxiety and expectations, to the unique settings he's explored and even the
interplay of personalities he's tied in with. Peter's humble approach to climbing and writing results in a book that many new climbers and jaded old-timers will appreciate."
—Chris Warner, President, Earth Treks Climbing Centers
"Peter Len, through detail-rich prose and a profound love of the mountains, takes us on a journey up the world's landmark peaks. This is not the rarified realm of super-alpinists like Messner, House, Garibotti, and Prezelj, but rather an everyman's voyage up the guided trade routes about
which the bulk of all climbers know and dream—the Exum Ridge of the Grand
Teton, for example, or the Hörnli Ridge of the Matterhorn. If you're
training ... for that next dream climb, Distant Peaks, with its honest, look at guided ascent ... is indispensable."
