About This Item
Colorado Mountain Club, 1956. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good. In Near Fine condition. A softcover pamphlet; 32 pages, photos. Folding map resent in rear. Printed in an edition of 1000 copies. Percy Hagerman occupies a special place, in his words, as one of "the first Colorado men to climb extensively just for the sake of climbing" (Notes on Mountaineering in the Elk Mountains, 1908-1910). Along with his companion Harold Clark, he was the first to climb Maroon Peak and Capitol Peak, and he reached the summit of North Maroon Peak on his own. Both Hagerman Peak and Pass bear his name. From one of the states wealthiest families, Hagerman adhered to then accepted tenet that success went to the mentally and physically fittest, with his college athletics meant to forge a captain of industry. A scrace piece of mountaineering memorabilia.
