The Mountaineering Experience in Word and Image. Edited by Steve Roper & Allen Steck.
Ascent is the annual journal of the Sierra Club. It started as a magazine, and eventually evolved into being published as an anthology book. This one features 24 pieces, from contributors like Alison Osius, Reinhard Karl, Joe Kelsey, Stanislaw Lem, and some other people who are less recognizable but probably no less quality.
