A Fine Kind of Madness
* Written by Guy Waterman, one of the Northeast's most highly respected outdoor writers * Blend of imaginative fiction and nonfiction offers an alternative to today's personality-centered climbing writing * Guy Waterman's last work In this standout collection of the writings Guy Waterman and Laura Waterman readers will discover a rich blend of outdoor adventures great and small.

This collection is certain to be a touchstone for all who are drawn to the mountains.Only the weak fear criticism.
