Even if he doesn´t go ahead, he has yet to decide, this is some ´tick´ list and if you are heading Stateside (I know the £ is weak at the moment) you would be wise to save this list. It was Steve Roper and Allen Steck who started the big climbing tick lists books, in the USA at least, with their 1979 book Fifty Classic Climbs of North America; you can see that list of routes : hereand it was Roper and Steck who partly inspired the UK´s Ken Wilson to publish his Classic, Hard and Extreme Rock books (Extreme Rock is in the process of being reprinted we have been told). The list begins…. ALASKA Alaska Range Eye Tooth Dream in the Spirit of Mugs Alaska Range Mt.
