Biography
Abstract
Known affectionately to his friends as the King of the Coast Range, John Baldwin has spent his life in a quest to experience the west coast wilderness. Since his teenage years he has explored the rugged Coast Mountain Range, climbing 700 peaks, many of them first ascents, and making perhaps one hundred multi-week, long-distance forays across the icefields and along the ridges of what is one of the last true wilderness areas on earth. Shunning the easy path, John has forged his own way through some of the toughest geography on the planet. He is a mountaineer and explorer of the first order (from Alpine Club of Canada)

Abstract
Chic Scott is a man of unconventional firsts. The first Canadian to summit a Himalayan peak, the first Canadian to guide in the European Alps, and he was part of the first team to climb Mount Assiniboine in winter. He is also a local mentor, historian and ski pioneer who has spent his whole life touching the lives of all those who call the Rockies home. Chic is perhaps known best for the ambitious grand ski traverses he achieved; in essence he has broken the trail for an entire generation of adventure skiers who follow. His writing and books have reached mountain communities further afield, spreading the rich history of Canadian mountaineering to outdoor enthusiasts across Canada and around the globe. This booklet celebrates the life of Chic Scott with his most memorable contributions to mountain life and tales told by his close friends. (from Alpine Club of Canada website)

Abstract
Summits of My Life is the personal project of Kilian Jornet, in which for five years he has traveled to some of the most important peaks of the planet to try to establish FKT (fastest known time) of ascent and descent of some of the most emblematic mountains of the world. The project is closely linked to values and a way of understanding the purist and minimalist mountain. The experiences lived in each challenge have been captured in different films.

Abstract
You might know about the oppurtunities for skiing in and around the Narvik and Ofoten area. This is the home of Narvik, Riksgränsen, Björkliden and Abisko. The ski resort of Narvik has the best lift-accessed skiing in Scandinavia, while Riksgränsen, right at the border is an international favourite for spring skiing. Around these ski resorts there is a fantastic mountain landscape with a lot of variation in the character of the ski terrain. Many spectacular mountains are only accessible by ski touring, and this is the definitive guide to those. Ski Touring Around Narvik covers 82 mountains and six traverses in Narvik, Skjomen, Ballangen, Efjorden-Tysfjorden, Bogen-Grovfjorden, Gratangen-Lavangen, Hunddalen, Riksgränsen, Björkliden and Abisko. This comprehensive guidebook is written by Mikael Af Ekenstam, resident of Narvik and experienced mountaineer. When Powder Magazine visited Narvik to write this piece about Scandinavia's most spectacular powder paradise, Mikael served as their guide. Several world class photographers have contributed to the book. Ski Touring Around Narvik describes a wealth of routes in a spectacular landscape for ski enthusiasts on both sides of the Norwegian-Swedish border in Northern Scandinavia.The first edition of this guide book was originally published in 2004 in norwegian as Toppturer rundt Narvik - see the norwegian version here. This new and updated version includes aerial photos and customised maps to supplement the route descriptions. (from Fri Flyt website).
