North Sister Protocol covers 20 years of essays and fiction written for Appalachia, Climbing, Summit, FreeSolo Press, Dog River Review, High Plains Review, and other publications. The collection includes the first history of American solo mountaineering, and it also traverses the range of human experience in the mountains and affected by mountain wilderness. Essays run from the historical to the satirical and absurd. Stories range from individual climbs to darkly satirical views of civilization. "Everyone here loves your writing," said Appalachian Mountain Club Books editor Gordon Hardy. Greer's prose also received praise from Princeton's William Howarth, Indiana University's Scott Sanders, and Suzanne Clark of the University of Oregon.
