Comes with signed Certificate of Authenticity
 
The title page holds signatures by many of the current and past new route pioneers throughout Cody, the Beartooths, and Hyalite regions; signed by the author Joe Josephson and Mark Twight, who wrote the Foreword, as well as 25 of the region’s ice climbing innovators spanning from the initial explorations of the late 1960s through the most current mixed climbs.
In pursuing the key signatures, the author “JoJo” spent two years tracking down the local pioneers and the books have, not unlike climbers, traveled far and wide to places like the Ouray Ice Festival, Salt Lake City, Jackson Hole, Ohio, South Carolina, Iowa, Houston, and Seattle. These books have been signed in the presence of greasy burgers, plenty of beer, scotch, chips and salsa, coffee and in venues ranging everything from smokey bar rooms, kitchen tables, seedy motels, sidewalk cafes, mexican food joints, back of my car, ice fest booths, KOA campgrounds, porches, to corporate HQs for Fortune 500 companies. So if the cover is a little scratched up or a few of the signatures seem smudged, if not beer stained, you’ll have to live with it. Remember, this book celebrates some of the best climbs and climbers in America by documenting a community and history as rich as any. A few imperfections are par for the course and simply add to the character of the story. Enjoy.
