But now tow mountain guides who have climbed extensively in the region share their A-list picks with us. There's not a route in this book that won't thrill you by the quality of the climb, the aesthetic experience, and its historical significance.Dave Horowitz served as a guide with Eastern Mountain Sports' New York climbing school.
