Pikes Peak, known affectionately as America's Mountain, is a natural wonder offering rock and ice climbing, back country skiing, snow climbing, as well as trail running and hiking.  It's Colorado Springs' mountain playground.  For the first time, Phil Wortmann, an accomplished ice and rock climber, and mountaineer, details the history and heritage of the climbs and lines to be enjoyed during all seasons.  

The love for the mountain and all it has to offer inspired Phil to bring together the stories and tall tales of one the Springs' most bountiful resources.
