Jon Krakauer

Jon Krakauer Instagram – I was 20 years old when I snapped this photo during my first visit to Alaska in 1974. The experience transformed my life. With 6 friends, I spent a month ascending unclimbed mountains (including this one) in a vast wilderness that, 6 years later, was protected as Gates of the Arctic National Park. There’s an essay about this amazing place in my most recent book, Classic Krakauer, which is the Boulder Bookstore’s “Radio Book Club” selection this month. Hit the link in my profile to hear me jabber about it on the Book Club’s monthly radio show. | Posted on 29/Jan/2021 01:15:06
