The Mountain of My Fear and Deborah: A Wilderness Narrative

Roberts has been singled out as one of the best mountaineering writers with his straightforward style. In ‘The Mountain of My Fear’ he describes his successful, yet tragic, expedition with three others which made the first ascent of the West Face of Alaska's Mount Huntington in 1965. Written in only nine days this book has been widely praised. ‘Deborah’ is considered an Alaskan classic. In it, Roberts describes the 1964 bold attempt of two men to climb Mt. Deborah's East ridge, a previously unclimbed route. An experience which 'transformed a physical journey into an equally difficult inward one'.
