Description
Authors Michael P. Ghiglieri and Charles R. Butch Farabee draw on their extensive experience in professional wilderness guiding (34 years) and in wilderness Search & Rescue in the National Park Service (34 other years), respectively, to research and create detailed and compelling stories for every known fatal mishap in Yosemites complicated recreational wonderland. These sagas span the era from Yosemites discovery in 1849 today when big wall climbing, BASE jumping, and tumbles off Yosemites huge waterfalls take such tolls. All 869 mishaps are included; more than 100 are highlighted in dramatic detail and historical context. This book could save your life.
