Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The Birrer family has climbed to the highest point in each of the 50 states. Now twin brothers Chris and Rich, along with sister Danielle, describe their travels with Mom and Dad in a fun and informative guide aimed at those in search of a uniquely American adventure. Written with the active family in mind, Climbing Across America offers advice on everything from when and where to go, to what to wear, eat and look for along the way. Provides maps, directions and a solid introduction to the wonders of Highpointing. Foreword by Jack Longacre, president of the Highpointers Club of America.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Someone in need of attention?
This book is a complete waste of your time. Totally filled with self-righteous gloating that makes me question the validity of their stories. Do us all a favor and throw this book and make room for something better on your shelf.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Don't waste your money
It would be less of a waste of money to climb to the highest point in your state and throw all your money off the top! You and your family are better off climbing/hiking as much as you can and keeping a journal. The book is boring and pathetic in its ill attempts to be witty. And that's not mentioning the pathetic climbing advice. The amazon website documents that one of the authors is in college while the other two have graduated from Yale. I found this surprising as the caliber of writing made ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A book that delivers as promised
Actually, this book IS a guide to the 50 states--every one of them. It describes in detail the highpoint in each of the 50 states, in alphabetical order. Each listing gives all the info you would ever want: where it is, how to get to there, what you'll see when you arrive, the exact elevation, etc. A nice added bonus is information on places of interest near the highpoint, complete with driving directions. Also, the title does not say it is a "travel guide" but rather a "family guide." And that it ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - This book was average but nothing special
I disagree with the previous reviews except that this book is not a travel guide. Anyone fooled by the title be sure not to purchase it. The title is deceptive too, it is not a guide of the 50 states and their respective highpoints. Please be more specific!!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not A Travel Guide
This is not a travel guide, in the narrative sense. I was expecting a book that had many chapters dealing with their travels across the states. Because it is not, I would have given it 3 stars. However, even though I have several highpoint guides, this one is a welcome addition. I think the second edition of the Winger's book is still my favorite, but this one has some highpoints (pun intended). This book has more items for the family -- things to do in the area. It also has a good couple of chapters ... Read More
