Abstract:
In these twenty essays - some published here for the first time - Roberts ranges the globe, profiles explorers, and pursues his newest passions - backcountry archaeology and anthropology. From caving in the unexplored labyrinths of New Mexico to ascending Iceland's most famous mountain with Jon Krakauer to following the grueling Raid Gauloises race in the Patagonia wilderness to tracking Jeff Lowe on a new route on the Eiger - Roberts doesn't just write about these.
adventures, he lives them.
