Climbing California's Fourteeners

From the southernmost peak of Mt. Langley to Mt. Shasta in the north, California's fifteen peaks of 14,000 feet or more are some of the most challenging and beautiful mountains in the country. Over the past decade, the rise of endurance activities and the popularity of reality television have increased the appeal of these daunting climbs, with California's Fourteeners featured on The Amazing Race, Man vs. Wild, and Django Unchained.

No matter your skill level, this book lays out the plans and logistics to ensure every climber has a positive experience. Each mountain is broken down based on the technical skills needed, with a recommended list of gear and equipment, advice on preparing for rapidly changing weather and trail conditions, and a general timeframe needed to reach each summit.
