A chill, laconic voice

characterizes Haston's retelling of his brief, stellar climbing career. A good antidote to the flowery romanticism of some other mountaineering autobiographies, this excellent book belongs on all climbers' shelves.

A superb yet modest summary of a brilliant climbing career.

A sequence of breathtaking adventures from childhood onwards in which Dougal surpasses the achievements of most world class climbers of his day.
