Book Description
Long-term investing, like mountain climbing, is a journey with no shortcuts to success. In The Steady Climb, Jay Hack, financial advisor and former mountain guide, shares a philosophy of wealth management passed down from his father, Paul Hack. Optimistic, fundamentally sound, and patient, it is a philosophy based on the wisdom of history's great investors-and a philosophy that applies to more than investing. As the stories in this book illustrate, taking the long-term approach isn't always easy emotionally, whether in the markets, the mountains, or anywhere in between-but, historically, it has been very effective.

Book Description
In the summer of 1967, twelve young men ascended Alaska’s Mount McKinley—known to the locals as Denali. Engulfed by a once-in-alifetime blizzard, only five made it back down. Andy Hall, a journalist and son of the park superintendent at the time, was living in the park when the tragedy occurred and spent years tracking down rescuers, survivors, lost documents, and recordings of radio communications. In Denali’s Howl, Hall reveals the full story of the expedition in a powerful retelling that will mesmerize the climbing community as well as anyone interested in mega-storms and man’s sometimes deadly drive to challenge the forces of nature.

Book Description
Raymond Sunn was elated when he was invited to join a mountaineering expedition to the far reaches of Leh, Ladakh. After summitting the snow-bound peak, he with a few of his climbing comrades, investigated a cave he had noticed on his ascent of the mountain. Little did he know that his inquisitiveness would get him and the expedition team members into serious trouble when the cave, halfway up the mountain, proved to be a cache of a huge amount of explosives and other armaments of Pakistani terrorists who had sneaked into India on a mission to create chaos in New Delhi and to assassinate the Prime Minister of India on the countrys celebration of its 65th anniversary of independence. His tenacious and dogged attempt in destroying the stockpile of highly sophisticated weaponry thwarted the hideous designs of Amir Abdullah, a merciless and ruthless leader of the Laskhar group of terrorists, known throughout the world as The Ruthless Maniac. The plot moves from the far reaches of Leh, to Rawalpindi, New Delhi, Mumbai, the United States of America and culminated dramatically in Srinagar.

Book Description
In the heart of the Swiss Alps stand the three majestic peaks of the Bernese Oberland, Europe's most famous mountain range. The highest, at 13,638 feet, is the Jungfrau. Next is the Mönch, at 13,465 feet. But it is the smallest, the Eiger, rising 13,038 feet above sea level, that is by far the deadliest. Called a "living" mountain for its constantly changing conditions-unpredictable weather, disintegrating limestone surfaces, and continuously falling rock and ice-its mile-high north wall is perhaps the most dangerous climb in the world. And that may be just what beckons elite Alpinists to scale the treacherous peak against the odds. In 1957, nearly forty years before the well-known Mount Everest tragedy, two teams of confident climbers set out to summit the north wall of the Eiger Mountain. Not long into their journey, onlookers could tell that the four men were headed for disaster. Soon rescue teams from all over Europe raced toward the Eiger-yet only one of the four climbers survived to face unfounded international accusations. In a story as fascinating as any novel, Jack Olsen creates a riveting account of daring adventure, heroic rescue, and one of the most baffling mysteries in the history of mountain climbing. KIRKUS REVIEW The forbidden, formidable north wall of the Eiger Mountain in the Bernese Alps, while it was first successfully climbed in 1938, has remained a supreme challenge to the most seasoned climber and in 1957 two teams of two Germans and two Italians again made the attempt with devastating results. while Corti, the only survivor, was perhaps talented- all were seemingly uninformed and ill-prepared, certainly for the wind and weather conditions which were to defeat them and make their rescue so difficult. Corti's partner, Longhi, was the first to entertain misgivings and was soon worn out, suffering frostbite as well; the Germans lost their food and were sustained chiefly by an innate, irrational mystique. Rescue crews were quickly organized, but only Corti, who ""looked like a live corpse"", was salvaged; his partner had been left lower down- to die, and the bodies of the other two ropemates were only found months later. In the avalanche of blame, resentment (against the guides as well as Corti) to follow, no true judgement could be reached although Olsen, a Sports Illustrated staff writer, does absolve Corti after a final interview... The folly and the fascination of "vertical Russian roulette", the courage compounded with stupidity, the doubts and recriminations which lingered on long after this disastrous ascent, all intensify the drama of this attempt and revive the furor it occasioned at the time. It will keep its readers on the ropes.
