Beautiful first-edition hardcover copy of Layton Kor's only book, Beyond the Vertical. It is true that they have reprinted this book, but in a smaller and much less impressive format. This is the version you want, trust me. The full-page photos look stunning and the book is overall a richer experience.
The book recounts some of Kor's most notable climbs, including narration from Kor himself (obtained via interviews with editor Bob Godfrey), and vignettes from a veritable whos-who of climbing partners, including Royal Robbins, Pat Ament, Fred Beckey, Steve Komito, Chris Bonington, Galen Rowell, and many others.
215 pages, coffee-table format, full color. Weighs about 3 pounds.
