Back to "One Man's Wildness: An Alaskan Odessy" and Richard Proenneke. There is another book with more of his journal writings "More Readings From One Man's Wilderness: The Journals of Richard L. Proenneke, 1974-1980". I hope Barnes and Noble has a copy.

No Shortcuts to the Top
Ed Viesturs
He's not the best writer in the world and he jumps around a bit, but overall the book is a good tale of climbing all the 8000m peaks without supplemental oxygen.

This is one of the best books I own. You should check out "One Man’s Wilderness, An Alaskan Odyssey" By Sam Keith and Richard Proenneke.

Buster you said it. What a great book and television documentary. Mr Proenneke was a true frontiersman!
