 "Climbing Mt.
Shasta" contains 192 pages with 8 color pages, maps and illustrations, and 12
comprehensive chapters with power packed appendices loaded with resourceful information.
Publishing services and graphic arts were done by PhotograFix Publishing; Hilt, California. ISBN# 1-888740-05-1. The
book is distributed by Shasta Marketing Company and carried in all major bookstores and climbing shops on the West Coast
and a few throughout the country.
Chapter One begins by introducing the Mountain's volcanic
eruptive history, its thick icy glaciers, and the story of the first recorded summit
ascent on Mt. Shasta. Also, there is informative information about the flora and fauna,
and enjoy some of the mystical legends that are discussed. The next few
chapters acquaint you with the hazards and rewards of mountaineering. Re-live the dramatic
story of the climber who survived two lonely, cold nights without sleeping gear at 12,000
feet.
Subsequent chapters prepare you for your
climb up the Mountain. Author Steve Lewis shows you how to pack and then takes you on a
step-by-step journey to the summit. Finally, glissade with him 2,500 feet down a snowfield
as he takes you safely back to base camp. Enjoy your stay in the Mt. Shasta area with the
last chapter titled Camping and Recreation. Then you will find the appendices covering
local information, mountaineering stores, and a glossary of terms. Best of
all is the pack
checklist.
Climbing Mt. Shasta is also available in most book and
mountaineering stores!
