Book
Summary: Distant Peaks is a chronicle of stories that detail the
struggles and triumphs of a novice climber. Starting with a failed
attempt on the Grand Teton during a climbing trip with his father,
Peter Len gained respect for the mountains along with a thirst for
summit success. Since then, his quest has taken him back to the Grand
Teton and across the oceans to attempt some of the classic mountains
of the world, including Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Mt. Kenya, and the volcanoes
of Ecuador.
Written through the eyes of an amateur climber, Distant Peaks describes
Mr. Len's motivations for attempting these mountains and portrays the
challenges of dealing with the physical and mental aspects of climbing,
especially at higher altitudes. Not limited to just describing the
individual climbs, Mr. Len also relays his thoughts on the unique
cultures and spectacular mountain ranges that he encounters along
the way. A light-hearted depiction of climbing adventure, Distant Peaks is an enjoyable
read for any outdoor enthusiast.
