Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Denali. Elbrus. Everest. Kilimanjaro. Kosciuszko. Vinson. To a climber, these mountains are known as the Seven Summits* -- the highest peaks on each continent. If you've ever dreamed of climbing Denali or Everest, or joining the even more exclusive "Seven Summiters " club, then Climbing the Seven Summits is the guidebook you need to turn your dream into reality. With Mike Hamill as your guide, you will discover different approaches to tackling the list, as well as details on what you'll need to plan an expedition and what to expect from each climb. For each mountain you'll learn about documents and immunizations, expedition costs, training, guiding options, climbing styles, best seasons, essential gear, day-by-day itineraries, summit routes, maps showing approaches and camps, regional natural history, cultural notes, and even post-climb activities like going on safari in Africa or wine-touring in South America. Throughout you'll also find helpful and inspiring stories from the likes of Conrad Anker, Vern Tejas, Damien Gildea, Eric Simonson, and other famed climbers. Special insider tips from Hamill, based on his years of experience, as well as full-color photographs of each peak round out this collectible guidebook. And, because there remains some controversy about whether Kosciuszko in Australia or Carstenz Pyramid on the island of New Guinea is the "seventh summit," this guidebook to the Seven Summits actually covers eight mountains! *Within mountaineering circles there is debate over which peaks are considered the official Seven Summits. For the purposes of this guidebook, the Seven Summits are based on the continental model used in Western Europe, the United States, and Australia, also referred to as the 'Bass list.'

This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By Michael Tomordy.Forward by Dan Mazur. Mazur has been selected to receive the Sir Edmund Hillary Mountain Legacy Medal on December 11, 2018 (International Mountain Day), in Pokhara, Nepal.25% of the proceeds will go to the Charity, "Mount Everest Foundation For Sustainable Development In Nepal/Tibet". The MEF is a registered charity of Nepal number 326/060/61I wrote this simple practical guide or "tip book" following my successful Summit on 23 May 2018 and realized that there was much I learnt on the mountain, prior expeditions and similar challenges, that could help others achieve their Goal, and more importantly that I had not been told, read in books, watched in documentaries or exaggerated in the movies! This practical guide is primarily written for the "Amateur" or beginner Mountaineer, and covers Physical, Technical and Mental Training aspects as well as the route and more practical matters. However but much of its content equally applies to those whom are more experienced. This Guide is written to provide practical guidance and tips to hopefully make your experience better and help you achieve Mt Everest Summit . It is intended to be complementary to your Expedition Company and Leaders advice, both pre-arrival and on the mountain.Finally I also believe many of the items covered in this practical guide can equally be applied to other similar rigorous challenges. I wish you success and safe return from "Your Everest", whatever it might be.
