	Denali/Mount McKinley: Summit of North America (Rucksack Pocket Summits) When Dutchman Harry Kikstra, an experienced mountain guide and climber, wrote his first Rucksack Pocket Summits book, he was still aspiring to climb the "seven summits." By January 2006 he had reached his seventh continental summit, Mt Vinson in Antarctica. That puts his name on an exclusive list of under 100 climbers ever to achieve this feat. No previous publisher has produced guidebooks explaining to climbers "how to" climb these challenging mountains. Dunblane-based publisher Jacquetta Megarry, the driving force behind this series, explained "I wanted to produce attractive guidebooks to let walkers experience the thrill of climbing the world's great mountains, even if for some it's only from their armchairs." Denali is the second book in the series. Price: $14.95 »» More Info / User Reviews / Buy From Amazon.com
