title: Over the Top:  Humorous Mountaineering Tales (Mountaineers Anthology, Vol. 3)
author: Peter Potterfield
description: The humor in these stories isn't laugh-out-loud funny, but more subtle, reflecting the defensive sort of humor useful in warding off physical suffering, or the challenges to ego that comes so frequently when humans take their measure against a mountain. (<i>Idaho Falls Post Register</i>)
