One of the lesser-known of the Mt. Whitney guidebooks—but also one of the best, especially if you're climbing Whitney for the first time.
Paul Richins Jr.'s 'Mount Whitney - the Complete Trailhead-to-Summit Hiking Guide' offers comprehensive and concise information on hiking California's highest peak.
Lou Dawson records backcountry skiing's rich history—and details an impressive offering of ski descents across North America.
If you're considering a Shasta climb, try Andy Selters and Michael Zanger's excellent guidebook.
Comprehensive collection of routes, history, geology, and more.
From hiking trails to technical climbs, Steve Porcella and Cameron Burns have assembled 183 routes on California's 14 'fourteeners'—including Mts. Shasta and Whitney.
