Bringing together route descriptions, historic content and the story of Tibbetts's own journey... I find myself dreaming of climbing all these peaks...; Kenton Cool, 13 times Everest summiteer, IFMGA mountain guide; ; ; Alpenglow is a rare tome of climbing routes that have all been climbed by the author.
