Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Updated mountaineering guide to Canadian Rockies peaks at or near 11,000 feet, combining route information, climbing history and changing glacial conditions.This edition of The 11,000ers of the Canadian Rockies revises access and route information for climbers pursuing the highest summits of the range. It also responds to glacier retreat and other changing mountain conditions that have altered approaches and lines on many peaks.The guide expands the potential list to 58 summits at or near the 11,000-foot mark. Each entry provides a description of the mountain, an account of early and subsequent ascents, information on ski descents where relevant, and detailed moderate-to-intermediate route descriptions with access and approach information.Full-colour photographs, route images and area maps support the text and help place individual climbs within the larger alpine landscape. The result is both a practical reference for experienced mountaineers and a historical record of climbing on the highest peaks of the Canadian Rockies.
