Raves and Reviews
“Sierra Summits takes a different approach than many climbing guidebooks. In fact, it's not really for climbers. It's for non-climbers. No ropes or climbing equipment needed. No overnight bivouacs on icy ledges required. All of the fifty summits described in the book can be reached by hiking, and they can be done in a single day. Areas covered by the book include Tahoe, Central Sierra, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Eastern Sierra.”—National Outdoor Book Awards
