Re: [pct-l] book list



I like adventure books and want to apply the "lessons" to myself. Two
favorites that I would recommend are:

Touching the Void by Joe Simpson. Touching the void is Joe's term for a
brush with death. This is the original, true cutting the rope with a knife
story.

And I alone Survived by Lauren Elder (with another author too). Lauren
crashed on Mt Baker (above the center basin in Kings Canyon near the JMT) in
a small plane and hiked out to Independence. We PCT and JMT hikers are
familiar with the altitude and terrain.
