Denali Washburn Print
$14050th Anniversary of the First Ascent of Denali's West Buttress Brad Washburn Print
The first six ascents of the South Peak of Denali and the three recorded ascents of the North Peak were all made by almost exactly the same route. For half a century the legend persisted that Denali was virtually impregnable from any other direction than the northeast.
The legend persisted until 1951. Washburn captured this gorgeous photo in celebration!
Read more about this incredible mountaineering feat in the American Alpine Journal, in an article written by Washburn himself.
About Washburn: Washburn visited many wild regions of the globe - including the Alps, remote Alaska, the Grand Canyon, even Mount Everest. A typical method for Brad's photo trips was to remove an airplane door and to secure his camera and himself to the plane; exceptionally warm clothing was critical, especially in wintry conditions. He's also a storied mountaineer having put up many first ascents of major Alaskan peaks, often with his wife Barabara. His legacy lives on in the AAC's Bradford Washburn American Mountaineering Museum and in his photos.

**Note: This photo does NOT do this gorgeous piece justice. It is so much more beautiful in person!

"Nine Lives" Signed Copy
$160Autographed Copy of Nine Lives by Robert Mads Anderson
Robert Mads Anderson is an elite mountaineer with a solitary goal: to conquer Everest. After nearly getting killed on his first expedition, he led a team up a new route on the Kangshung Face without oxygen or Sherpa support, climbed solo on the remote North Face, and finally guided a team to the top of the world.
Incorporating a who's who of internationally recognised climbers, including Stephen Venables, Reinhold Messner and Chris Bonington, Nine Lives traces the story of Everest, from the big, nationally supported expeditions of the 1980s; through the small teams forging new routes and climbing solo; to the commercially guided expeditions of today.
Set against the majestic backdrop of the world's tallest peak, Anderson's nine Everest expeditions over eighteen years define what truly drives a human being to the greatest of heights. With a foreword by Peter Hillary and 32 pages of colour photography, in Nine Lives Robert Mads Anderson offers his personal account of the world's highest mountain.
