Available Soon!

The first book that combines the art of high altitude travel with up-to-date scientific explanations of the human body's response to altitude.

June 5, 2008: I hope the book is in print within a month. I will be in Pakistan climbing at that time. I will post any updates on the blog page. Also, I can't respond to any emails until I return.

What's the book about? Here's a slide show to give you some background.

Download the chapter outline in pdf format.

A special note for scientists and physicians is found here.

You can purchase the book (when it's available) from Falcon

UPDATES: There are no updates at this time. If you have the book, be sure to read the first chapter.

Please note:I can't answer individual questions about your altitude experiences, training, or other topics covered in the book. Sorry!
 
 
 
  

Trekking the Manaslu Circuit
October 12 to November 1

I will be leading this 21-day trek through north-central Nepal. While similar to the Annapurna Circuit, this walk has far fewer trekkers and retains much of the charm and culture of traditional Nepal.

For more information, visit The Mountain Company and download the Trip Dossier.
