“A Mountaineer’s Life” Book Reading | Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Come hear tales from Allen Steck and his new book, A Mountaineer’s Life.

Sixteen-year-old Allen Steck made his initial climb, a first ascent of Mount Maclure in the Sierras, with no hardware, no ropes, no experience. But the event turned his into a mountaineer’s life. His stories are from the days when mountain climbing was discovery, when men like Steck forged new routes, both literal and literary.

With dry humor and detailed recall, Steck captures the excitement and intrigue of a time when there were few rules and no guidelines. Come hear tales from Allen Steck’s new book A Mountaineer’s Life. Free but an RSVP is required.
