“In another hour he was there. The rocks, snow and ice, all those obstructions had disappeared. The summit was under his feet, and above him there was nothing—only the blue-black winter sky. He stopped as in a daze because he had no place to go.”
Rose’s story of Orland Bartholomew and his unbelievable winter exploration of the Sierra Nevada of California, perhaps the most ambitious and adventurous feat by one man during the 20th century.
