This visual guide to climbing 32 of the classic peaks of South America provides an excellent resource to those contemplating climbing or trekking in the Andes and the Antarctic Peninsula. It is also suitable for people who would like to visualize climbing routes and peaks they have heard about but do not actually plan to climb themselves, such as the fabled Cerro Torre. Photos and other media-like video and sound are able to inspire the true feeling of being out there on a climb. You can order this CD direct from the Eleva Interactive website, or download a trial version.

"Some wonderful photos there. ... it's very inspiring and should get a lot of people up and packing to go to South America."
Lindsay Griffin, Editor, Mountain INFO, High Magazine, UK.
