Fulcrum Publishing in Golden CO first published Gerry’s Fourteener book in 1992. The soft-cover 6x9-inch 1st edition contains 254 pages, 197 routes on Colorado’s 55 Fourteeners, 50 black & white photographs and 31 black-and-white topographic hand-annotated maps. The 1st edition’s appendix includes a discussion of Peak Power. This dissertation and peak lists based on Gerry’s Peak Power system were removed from the book’s 2nd edition and replaced with a simpler system, so if you are interested in this material, then the 1st edition may be for you. However, the first edition is now long out of print, and has become a historic book. Gerry’s Peak Power discussion is posted at SummitSight.com/Word_Tent_files/Peak_Power.shtml. | ||||
