Are there any good books on spirituality and mountain's related activity? (Climbing, hiking, ecc)

It's my brother birthday soon and I want to gift him a book. Last year I gifted him "meditation on the peaks" by evola and he really liked it.

Also mountain books thread

Yeah that's why he broke with the Nazis. He believed in spiritual races not biological and didn't like the purity laws.

Evola wasn't a Nazi. He denied being one and described himself as a superfacist or being beyond facism. The concept of biological race is a profane distortion of spiritual race.

this isn't exactly what you're asking for but Arne Naess has an interesting little article on the subject called Mountains and Mythology: http://trumpeter.athabascau.ca/index.php/trumpet/article/view/294/435

Thoreau's Mt. Ktaadn also has some spiritual reflections on such things.
