{"product_id":"mountain-climber-a-memoir","title":"Mountain Climber: A Memoir","description":"Nearing his sixth decade as a dedicated climber, William \"Bill\" Katra describes himself as \"not a great climber, but a persistent one.\" In his memoir, the author details his climbs in vivid detail, describing some of the world's most popular routes while emphasizing that scenic beauty is as important to a hike as technical difficulty.\nFrom his early partner-belayed adventures to his more recent unassisted solo \"scamper-climbs,\" Bill's techniques have evolved, but his love for the experience remains steadfast. Within recent years, Bill has again summited a few climbs from his younger days, often reflecting on where senior climbers fit in the sport's changing social--and environmental--landscape. This memoir is a relatable and nostalgic account of a life well-spent in nature, as the author muses on his long-past adventures enriched and nurtured by the wisdom of the present.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1476679630\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1476679630.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Katra, Bill\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
