Stettner Way The Life and Climbs of Joe and Paul Stettner

Joe and Paul Stettner have been called the first true sport climbers in America; contemporary and fellow legend Paul Petzoldt called them "the human flies" for their bold and acrobatic style. Legends in the early mountaineering community, they put up some of the most difficult routes in North America during a career that spanned the beginnings of modern rock climbing in the 1920s to well into the big-wall climbing era of the 1950s. This is a story not only of climbing adventure but of lives touched by many of the great dramas of the 20th Century.Gorby, John D. is the author of 'Stettner Way The Life and Climbs of Joe and Paul Stettner', published 2003 under ISBN 9780972441308 and ISBN 0972441301.
