Mark Synnott releases second book 'The Third Pole'

The Mount Washington Valley, with its access to the cliffs and summits of the White Mountains, has been home in the past and present to many world class mountaineers.

Today, 51 year old guide/explorer/author Mark Synnott of Jackson is very active in pursuit of summits and adventure, and of writing about them. His first major book was “The Impossible Dream: Alex Honnold, El Capitan and the Climbing Life.” Using Alex Honnold’s epic solo of El Capitan as a theme, Synnott also introduced readers to the world of modern climbing and its followers through his own journey. The quality of his writing shone through.
