Among Mountains

by Jim Crumley

This is not simply another mountaineering book; rather, it is a nature-writer's very personal vision of the mountain world. Telling of his lifetime among mountains, the author's themes are the wildlife, the vanished people, and the conservation of mountains for their own sake. Jim Crumley presents the argument that there is so much more to the experience of being among mountains than just mountaineering.
