Ten pickets later, we found ourselves on the roof of North America. Yeeeahhhh! I roared at the top of my lungs. I yelled so loud that I actually knocked the wind out of myself for five minutes. At that moment, we were the highest people standing on solid ground in the continent (excerpt from Denali report). The quest to reach the most expansive vista of each country and explore the most remote parts of the world motivated the Gilbertson twins to be the first to climb the highest mountain in all twenty-three North American countries. From the windswept glaciers of Alaska and the Yukon, to the tropical jungles of Central America, to the razor-grass-covered volcanoes of the Caribbean, Matthew and Eric share the stories and experiences that paved their way through their trip reports and itineraries. They were born and raised in Appalachian Kentucky and later educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they joined its famous Outing Club. In this book, they share how they achieved their quest for the summits with both budget consciousness and strategic efficiencyin just nine trips! This book is for those who share a thirst for travel, the outdoors, and the mountains. It chronicles a subset of the Gilbertson twins overall goal to climb the 195 world country high points. Stay tuned for more books in the Twins to the Tops series coming soon. For more information, visit our website, http://www.countryhighpoints.com/. Advance praise for Twins to the Tops The Gilber-trons strike again! A great resource for mountaineering in North America (Dan Walker, former president, MIT Outing Club). Twins to the Tops is an inspiring read and an effort worthy of a world record (David Rush, 50+ time Guinness World Record breaker). Those boys never stop walking. I reckon these old Kentucky hills was a good place to start (Tony Smith, Appalachian author of These Old Hills).
