Who was Henry Barber?

A decent biography of Barber although it was published when he was only 28. It's hard to imagine such a prolific climber fading away at such a young age, you don't hear about him much now-a-days. This book isn't really written in chronological order and each chapter really can almost stand alone. Details his trips to Austraila and Germany the best. Gives insight into the statement I hear often climbing, 'Oh, that's a Henry Barber route,' which mean that it was probably hard. A must read for any Northeast based climber.
