Summary: Haven't read it yet.
Review: Canadian climber/photographer and author Jim Haberl was killed last week outside of Anchorage, Alaska. He is Alaska's twelfth victim of an avalanche this year. Interest in his book should increase and I am no exception. I especially want to read his book now that the thing he loved the most has claimed his life. He was 41 years old.

Summary: Five captivating stories
Review: Jim Haberl's second book 'Risking Adventure', details five personal accounts of climbs/treks around the world. You need not be a climber to enjoy this book; Jim's a natural storyteller, and you will experience suspense, joy, sadness, and laughter. The photography, also Jim's, is incredible, and provides further insight to the extremes Jim has experienced.

Summary: Great photos. Short stories make reader beg for more.
Review: The only thing lacking with this book is that the stories seem too short to fully capture the magnitude of Jim's trips. After reading Greg Child's "Thin Air" I was spoiled and expected to be drawn into adventures for more than the 1/2 hour it took me to read each chapter. It almost seems like these stories were written for National Geographic...Worth reading, if not only to whet your appetite!
