Download or read book Climbing the Mountains on the Colorado Midland written by Arlene Lanman and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-08-27 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this 534 page book was to tell the story of the Colorado Midland/Midland Terminal from the viewpoint of the Chief Engineers. The Book has three main Divisions: (1) 60% dedicated to the "What, When, Where, and Why" it was formed, (2) 15% dedicated to the "Who" - the people who financed, controlled and supported the railroad, and (3) 25% dedicated to the "How" - Engineering aspects of designing and building the railroad. The story presents the viewpoint of Management and how Engineering influenced their decisions. The story includes why the train stopped at the many towns along the way - what the people were doing there and how the stations were named. The book includes 0ver 330 photographs used both within other Colorado Midland historic narratives and several additional photos that were found by the Author, including several maps to further depict the final route and the many alternate survey routes proposed by the Survey Team and Layout Engineers. Nearly all the photos were colorized by the Author to project today's views. Writing the book was a festinating step into the early history of Colorado. The quest was to answer my many questions, including: *Why the CM started with Palmer and the Kansas Pacific *Why Colorado City was chosen as a Division point *Why J.J. Hagerman had a grudge against Palmer and the D&RG *Why the CM hauled load after load of coal and ore and how the ore was refined *Why the D&RG seemed to always get the best route for their roadbed *Which CM President inadvertently build a haunted house *Who were the competition *Why did the CM go to Aspen and took the "hard way" *What part did Rathbone & Brothers Co. of Liverpool & London play in the routes to Glenwood Springs and Aspen *Who was Henry Wigglesworth and what did he do *What indirect part did the Gould's play in the ownership changes - who was really "pulling the strings" *How was the route chosen - who said to cross the Continental Divide twice *How were the l

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains images of many of the mountains and views that are available to be climbed in Washington State. Washington's mountains have been used for many years as a training ground for major international mountain climbing expeditions. The very first Americans to climb Mount Everest trained on the mountains of Washington State. Many of these scenes have never been seen by the casual hiker or climber, merely because they cover such a large geographic area of the state and are otherwise very remote.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the southernmost peak of Mt. Langley to Mt. Shasta in the north, California’s fifteen peaks of 14,000 feet or more are some of the most challenging and beautiful mountains in the country. Over the past decade the rise of endurance activities (including obstacle racing) and the popularity of reality television have increased the popularity of these daunting climbs (California’s Fourteeners have been featured on The Amazing Race, Man vs. Wild, and Django Unchained). No matter the skill level, this book will lay out the plans and logistics to allow every climber a positive experience. Each of the mountains will be broken down based on the technical skills needed, a recommended list of gear and equipment, how to prepare for rapidly changing weather and trail conditions, and a general timeframe needed to reach each summit.

Download or read book Climb to Conquer written by Peter Shelton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few stories from the "greatest generation" are as unforgettable -- or as little known -- as that of the 10th Mountain Division. Today a versatile light infantry unit deployed around the world, the 10th began in 1941 as a crew of civilian athletes with a passion for mountains and snow. In this vivid history, adventure writer Peter Shelton follows the unique division from its conception on a Vermont ski hill, through its dramatic World War II coming-of-age, to the ultimate revolution it inspired in American outdoor life. In the late-1930s United States, rock climbing and downhill skiing were relatively new sports. But World War II brought a need for men who could handle extreme mountainous conditions -- and the elite 10th Mountain Division was born. Everything about it was unprecedented: It was the sole U.S. Army division trained on snow and rock, the only division ever to grow out of a sport. It had an un-matched number of professional athletes, college scholars, and potential officer candidates, and as the last U.S. division to enter the war in Europe, it suffered the highest number of casualties per combat day. This is the 10th's surprising, suspenseful, and often touching story. Drawing on years of interviews and research, Shelton re-creates the ski troops' lively, extensive, and sometimes experimental training and their journey from boot camp to the Italian Apennines. There, scaling a 1,500-foot "unclimbable" cliff face in the dead of night, they stunned their enemy and began the eventual rout of the German armies from northern Italy. It was a self-selecting elite, a brotherhood in sport and spirit. And those who survived (including the Sierra Club's David Brower, Aspen Skiing Corporation founder Friedl Pfeifer, and Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman, who developed the waffle-sole running shoe) turned their love of mountains into the thriving outdoor industry that has transformed the way Americans see (and play in) the natural world.

Book excerpt: Everything I Loved More is a roller-coaster collection of true short stories that follow a young man searching for sincere adventure along the tops of freight trains and mountain ranges. The danger can be nausea-inducing while he hangs on a single flexing hold of sandstone hundreds of feet off the ground or attempts to skirt the sexual advances of a meth smoking trucker while hitchhiking through the middle of nowhere. Between the many gripping scenes, his debasing humor acknowledges the foolish romance of it all.Beyond each singular exciting and hapless adventure, an important journey is told between the tales: the journey of a young man attempting to combat mental health issues with a potent dose of unabashed recklessness - and just how well it almost works.

Download or read book Climbing the World's 14 Highest Mountains written by Richard Sale and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The year 2000 is the fiftieth anniversary of the ascent of Annapurna, the first of the 8000-meter peaks to be climbed. In the decade following that first ascent in 1950, all but one of the world's fourteen highest mountains were climbed; the period from 1950 to 1960 can be considered the Golden Age for high altitude climbing. Only Shisha Pangma remained unclimbed until 1964 when a Chinese party led by Hsu Ching reached the summit." "This book brings together the stories behind the discovery, exploration and first successful ascents of each of the fourteen highest peaks, as well as accounts of the most important attempts and ascents that followed. Many of these stories illustrate how modern technology has enabled mountaineers to climb the previously unscaled peaks, while still demonstrating the importance of the human element."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
