Rowell climbed the things he photographed, which is why his pictures have a vantage nobody else was standing in. The back panel is four of them: a lone figure on a snow ridge under stacked cloud, a climber hanging off an overhanging granite roof. A serious California name and a serious mountain book.
Jacket moderately worn: creasing and light chipping along the top edge, several soft crease lines across the back panel photographs, rubbing at the corners.
