Imaginary Peaks: The Riesenstein Hoax and Other Mountain Dreams
Ives, Katie
"A cat-footed exploration of the vaporous fantasies, deceptions, and obsessions of the climbing world, this book is a noble successor to Macfarlane’s Mountains of the Mind, but also, in a way, to Calvino’s Invisible Cities. It is, in every sense of the word, dreamy." -- Robert Moor, best-selling author of On Trails: An Exploration
- Author is a renowned writer in international climbing community
- Fascinating story of hoax that inspired a quest for a North American Shangri-La
- Vivid recounting of fabled mountains from across the world
