About this title

Synopsis

Even after hundreds of mountaineering ascents, serving in the 10th Mountain Division during WWII, attaining both geographic poles, and establishing some of the most sought after climbing routes in alpine history, Bill Hackett still looked forward to a life of continual adventure.

CLIMB TO GLORY chronicles his most ambitious and historic ascents, using Bill�s own words and those of his climbing companions to paint vivid pictures of high-attitude mountaineering. He tells of the drudgery and multitude of dangers facing mountaineers, yet still captures the excitement and rewards of extreme climbing. Narrow escapes, historic ascents and panoramic vistas are all explored in vivid detail.

CLIMB TO GLORY introduces you to the pioneer of the Seven Summits Dream�the attainment of the highest summit on each of the world�s seven continents! Hackett�s effort laid the foundation for one of the most sought-after goals of extreme adventures.

A wonderful blend of humorous climbing stories and military achievements, CLIMB TO GLORY is storytelling at its best, revealing the dreams and adventures of the most misunderstood climber of his generation.
