The Naked Mountaineer

"For climbing and travel enthusiasts, this will be a treasured read."—Jay Freeman, Booklist starred review

"Take a walk on the weirder side of mountain life with Sieberson, whose alpine misadventures include bizarre local cuisine, insistent music fans, and oh yes, the Englishman who revels in taking naked selfies. . . . This delightfully anecdotal memoir hops from Norway to Japan to Greece, among other high altitude locales."—Backpacker.com

"Author and lawyer Sieberson enjoys his hobby, which has taken him around the globe and to the top of many of the world's mountains. His mountaineering trials and tribulations provide ample fodder for this informative and amusing book."—Sara Miller Rohan, Library Journal

"The Naked Mountaineer is a delightful commentary on Sieberson's global travels and opportunities to climb many of the world's highest and most challenging mountains."—Rod Wagner, NCB News

“It is Sieberson’s unabashed enthusiasm for climbing that is exposed here, and his bare appraisal of it all is engagingly straightforward. The Naked Mountaineer guides us up mountains—including his beloved Matterhorn—and offers an insightful travelogue. The observations are fresh and yet familiar, as welcome as clean socks from a well-worn rucksack at the end of a long day’s hike.”—Kyle Wagner, travel and fitness editor for the the Denver Post 
 

“From Western Washington to Italy to Indonesia this is a fun and delightful book. For anyone who has traveled or wished to travel to remote places Steve Sieberson’s The Naked Mountaineer gives an entertaining and humorous account of his mountain adventures and the characters he met along the way.”—Mike Mahanay, president of the Washington Alpine Club
