Reread that book last year. I like his writing style: fluid and insightful. As you said he is really one of our best.

No, Steve. I didn't post that material. Someone else did. It'd be on the Paul Preuss, Our Founding Father of Style thread.
But they were bad men, all.
Piaz was quite the character.

That book is a tremendous resource of climbing history. One of the best books I ever purchased. It is faded and worn but still a great read. A lot of research went into it.
