Special insider tips from Hamill, based on his years of experience, as well as full-color photographs of each peak round out this collectible guidebook.

For the purposes of this guidebook, the Seven Summits are based on the continental model used in Western Europe, the United States, and Australia, also referred to as the 'Bass list.'
