A Most Hostile Mountain
by Jonathan Waterman

Re-creating the Duke of Abruzzi's Historic Expedition On Alaska's Mount St. Elias

One hundred years ago, Luigi of Savoy, Duke of Abruzzi, made international headlines with his conquest of the forbidding Mount St. Elias, North America's second-highest peak. Veteran alpinist and author Jonathan Waterman retraces the duke's steps on this perilous and historic expedition in A Most Hostile Mountain. Taking along technical aids that were available to the explorer a century ago, Waterman and his climbing partner endure treacherous seas, ferocious weather, and lethal avalanches. Included are letters and journals from the duke and his team providing context in this riveting mix of adventure and history.
