This engaging memoir by Michael O’Donoghue, the legendary writer and counterculture icon behind the groundbreaking National Lampoon magazine, offers a witty and irreverent account of his adventures as a rock climber in the 1960s. Published just a year after the Lampoon’s debut issue, this early work captures O’Donoghue’s sardonic voice and penchant for satirizing the era’s youth movements. Alongside hair-raising tales of daring ascents, the book offers insights into the nascent rock climbing subculture and the broader counterculture zeitgeist. A must-have for fans of O’Donoghue’s biting humor, this well-preserved copy provides a fascinating glimpse into the formative years of a comedy pioneer who would go on to shape the anarchic spirit of projects like the Lampoon’s classic “Deteriorata” and the cult film National Lampoon’s Animal House.
