IR VERDICT:
“The Fourteeners” is the colloquial name given to the 48 mountains in the Colorado Rockies with summits over 14000 feet. In FOURTEENER FATHER, Benjamin M. Weilert writes lovingly about the majesty of these home-state mountains, and even more so about the bonds he and his father forged over years of climbing to these summits together. At times heartfelt and homespun, at others harrowing as any adventure saga, FOURTEENER FATHER offers a profound view of family ties that is surpassed as such only by the actual view from the summits themselves.
