On High By the age of 20, Brad Washburn was a mountain-climbing wunderkind who had published four books about mountaineering. Most would consider this accomplishment enough for a lifetime, but for Washburn it was only a beginning. While a student at Harvard, he studied the pioneering field of aerial surveying and photography. Throughout his life, he would combine this skill with his passion for climbing to make aerial photographs and maps of the world's major land forms, from Mount McKinley in Alaska to Everest. Washburn's improvements to aerial surveying technology resulted in maps of such accuracy and definition that they are still used by climbers today Contributor(s): Brad Washburn Publisher: National Geographic Pub Date: 2002 ISBN: 079226911X Binding: Hardback 10.3" x 9" 240 Pgs Condition: New Price $24.95
