All of the biggest names in the world of mountaineering -- including many legends rarely represented in contemporary books -- have chipped in to make Voices from the Summit a very special, Who's Who-style extravaganza of unprecedented proportions. Thirty-two living icons from around the world -- including Yvon Chouinard, Wade Davis, Catherine Destivelle, Charles Houston, Doug Scott, Greg Child, Kryzstof Wielicki, Peter Croft, Silvo Karo, Ed Viesturs, Lynn Hill, Riccardo Cassin, Kitty Calhoun, and Junko Tabei -- weigh in on eleven topics crucial to the future of mountain-climbing, from Himalayan climbing and the ethics of adventuring to ice climbing and rock climbing.Each essay in this commemorative keepsake is accompanied by a specially commissioned portrait of its author. Published in conjunction with the Banff Centre for Mountain Culture on the occasion of its acclaimed film festival's twenty-fifth anniversary, Voices from the Summit is at once a thorough retrospective and a thoughtful look into the exciting future of mountaineering, where the final frontiers of this remarkable sport await the exploits of tomorrow's breed of adventurers.
