500			_aFrom Edward Whimper 's ascent of the Matterhorn in the 1860s to Jon Krakauer 's vivid profiles of modern mountaineers, this collection offers indelible impressions from writers who experienced the mystery and the grandeur of the mountains -- and who lived to tell about it. Highlights include John Muir 's "A Perilous Night on Mount Shasta" and Belmore Browne 's heart-stopping "Conquest of Mt. McKinley.
