Description

With our Juniper Books studio based in Colorado at the foothills of the Rockies, our curators and designers naturally love the outdoors. This is a popular set to gift to rock climbers, mountaineers, and outdoor adventurers. This beautifully crafted book set serves as a striking showcase of mountaineering adventure—a compelling collection, perfect for inspiring your next hike or exploration on and off the trails.

In The Color of Everything, renowned climber and National Geographic photographer Cory Richards shares his incredible adventures—and the early trauma that drove him to seek such heights. Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer’s harrowing recounting of the Mt. Everest disaster in 1996 reminds us not only of the risks of mountaineering, but also the survivor’s guilt that plagues those that made it down. Cassidy Randall’s Thirty Below draws on extensive archival research and original interviews to tell an engrossing, edge-of-the-seat adventure story about a forgotten group of climbers who had the audacity to believe that women could walk alone in extraordinary and treacherous heights. A masterpiece of edge-of-your-seat narrative history, The White Ladder describes the epic rise of mountaineering’s world altitude record, a story of ever higher climbs by figures great and small of mountaineering during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

From publishers Penguin Random House, Abrams, and Norton, each hardcover comes wrapped in jackets designed by Juniper Books with an illustration of a mountaineer ascending a snowy incline, pickaxe in hand. This set is the “peak” collection for anyone to whom the mountains call.
