As a part of our Into the Wild unit I have been assigned to write a paragraph about the author, Jon Krakauer. He is from Oregon and is an expert mountian climber and a skilled writer also. He first learned to climb at age eight, and some of his more famous climbs inclurde the Devil's Thumb (this is described in Into the Wild), Mt. Everest, and the west face of Cerro Torre. He has written articles in magasines and books about his climbing experiences and many other things that often invovle the outdoors inparticular, including Into the Wild.
This information is from randomhouse.com. Random Hous published his book Under the Banner of Heaven and has a profile on him on their website.
