NY, Norton, (2015/2016). Signed by the author, whose 2017 free solo ascent of Yosemite's El Capitan (via Freerider) is a pinnacle of human athletic achievement and nerve. This book pre-dates that climb, because Honnold was a rock icon even before Free Solo (the film of that El Cap climb), having free solo-ed Zion’s Moonlight Buttress and Yosemite’s Half Dome (among many other climbs). This title was reissued in an expanded edition after the El Cap climb, but signed copies of the true first are rare. Note that the first printing carries a copyright date of 2016, despite the fact that copies of the book were available in stores as early as November 2015. Fine in a very near fine dust jacket, with a sticker removal shadow on the front panel. [#035979] $250
