San Diego County Climbing Guide

Rock climbing guidebook for San Diego.

At 28,251 feet, K2 might be almost 800 feet shorter than Everest, but it is a far tougher proposition. Unlike Everest, there is no "Yak route" for commercial clients. It is hard climbing all the way from its base to its summit. K2 will kill you on the way up and kill you on the way down. Mick Conefrey tells the story of three extraordinary expeditions filled with riveting drama and unimaginable tragedy- Fritz Wiessener's controversial attempt of 1939, the disastrous American expedition of 1953, and the huge Italian expedition of 1954 on which K2 was first climbed. He captures the bold and eccentric characters - their friendships and rivalries, their guilt and betrayals. At the center of the narrative is Charlie Houston, who led the failed 1953 exhibition, who was forced to give up his ambition of ever reaching the summit, and who was haunted for the rest of his life by the ghosts of the world's most beautiful and lethal mountain.

The majestic Santa Ana Mountains cover one thousand square miles and much of the Cleveland National Forest in Orange, Riverside and San Diego Counties. Unlike other designated wild lands close to huge population centers, the rugged Santa Anas remain largely primordial. Dominated by Old Saddleback and its twin peaks of Modjeska and Santiago, this beautiful range, visible from much of the Los Angeles Basin, remains the last intact coastal ecosystem in Southern California. Home to Native Americans, Spanish missionaries, vaqueros, sheep barons, bandits and suburban developers, the Santa Anas were traversed by mountain man Jedediah Smith, explorer John C. Fremont, lawman Wyatt Earp and other historic figures. Join author Patrick Mitchell for this first comprehensive volume on the natural and cultural histories of the great Santa Anas.

When it comes to The West Memphis 3, depending on which side of the argument you stand, you can find evidence both for and against whichever person you are gunning for and I find that horrifying and interesting in equal measure. Many of the supporters based their opinions on what they learned watching one of the three HBO Documentaries in the Paradise Lost trilogy. This book will take you through the numerous scenarios and countless suspects from that moonlit night in West Memphis Arkansas in May 1993. We will look at the evidence that points to the West Memphis 3 as the killers but also at the evidence that points to numerous other suspects. Moreover, it has to be said, the result (in my mind) would be that the West Memphis 3 are either guilty of one of Arkansas deadliest murders or the main players in a truly unbelievable series of coincidences and lies to protect Terry Hobbs, Buddy Lucas, L.G. Hollingsworth and David Jacoby. We will sort out the fact from fiction and find out what really happened "Beyond Robin Hood Hills".
