  In the 1960's, California's Yosemite Valley was the center of the rock-climbing universe. Young nonconformists—many of them the finest rock climbers in the world—channeled their energy toward the largely untouched walls and cracks. Soon climbers from around the globe were coming to Camp 4—gathering spot for the creators of the Golden Age of Yosemite climbing—to see what all the fuss was about. 
   
   
   
  Climber and author Steve Roper spent most of ten years living in the Yosemite Valley with its intriguing inhabitants. Camp 4 is his take on the era's top climbers and the influences behind their achievements. The text is full of stories both hilarious and revealing about the likes of bolt-disdaining Royal Robbins; fun-loving, big-wall expert Warren Harding; free-climber Frank Sacherer; multi-talented Chuck Pratt; master craftsman Yvon Chouinard; and ill-fated Mark Powell. Roper also tips his hat to the elder statesmen of the 1930s and 1940s who pioneered early, important climbs in the valley. 
   
   
   
  Camp 4 looks at the most significant climbs, and the most riveting controversies of a legendary era. Camp 4 is the definitive history of Yosemite climbing during this period.

  "I just want to make sure I've got this right. You hanged all three of them?" 
   
   
   
  That's how it began, a case where the cops are crooks and the crooks are cops, a kidnapping where the victim is the bad guy, and the good guys must cross some lines to get him back. Welcome to the upside down and backward world of the undercover agent, where nothing is as it seems, and people may not be what they appear. Going Under by former undercover agent John Madinger takes you into that world, and closer to the truth of the undercover experience than any other law enforcement memoir has ever gone. 
   
   
   
  You're a sheepdog in wolf's clothing, running with the pack, and Madinger ran with the wolves for almost two decades. Now he shares his story to give you a unique look at American crime and the "War on Drugs" from the perspective of both cops and criminals. You'll go with the undercover cops to meetings with street-corner hustlers and rip-off artists and into the lives of the America's biggest rock stars, the world's richest man, an Academy Award-winning actor, the marijuana traffickers conspiring to assassinate a federal judge, and the President of the United States. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.
