But to those who knew him well, Scott was much more than an action figure in a modern-day cautionary tale. Now, a close friend tells who Scott Fischer really was and what led him to the top of the world. Scott thrived on the challenges of climbing, the beauty of the high country, and the like-minded people he found there. His guide service meshed his need to climb with his joy in sharing the lofty, rarified realms with others. Birkby traces Scott's expeditions from the granite walls of Yosemite to Alaska to the punishing storms of the Himalayas--a relentless quest for new highs that builds inexorably to the rendezvous with disaster on Everest.--From publisher description. 000320631 60010 $$aFischer, Scott,$$d1955-1996. 000320631 650_0 $$aMountaineers$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000320631 650_0 $$aMountaineering expeditions$$zEverest, Mount (China and Nepal) 000320631 85200 $$bgen$$hGV199.92.F57$$iB57$$i2008 000320631 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:320631$$pGLOBAL_SET 000320631 980__ $$aBIB 000320631 980__ $$aBOOK 000320631 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
