Authors Michael P. Ghiglieri and Charles R. "Butch" Farabee draw on their extensive experience in professional wilderness guiding (34 years) and in wilderness Search & Rescue in the National Park Service (34 other years), respectively, to research and create detailed and compelling stories for every known fatal mishap in Yosemite's complicated recreational wonderland. These sagas span the era from Yosemite's "discovery" in 1849 today when big wall climbing, BASE jumping, and tumbles off Yosemite's huge waterfalls take such tolls. All 869 mishaps are included; more than 100 are highlighted in dramatic detail and historical context. This book could save your life.
