| | Amazon.ca: Books: Escape from Lucania : An Epic Story of Survival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | In the course of this story, I found that the actual climb and descent from Lucania seemed to be the least difficult of their entire trip. |
 | | In the current age of high tech gear, millionaire adventurers, and an every-man-for-himself attitude, it's easy to forget that there was, not so very long ago, an era when relatively modest people of the highest character took on first ascents with little more than wool sweaters on their backs. |
 | | Escape From Lucania is not only a window into this era, but also a look at the men themselves, men of decency, honor, ambition, character, honesty, immense skill, intelligence, and an "aw, shucks" attitude. |
