A Classic Insight into the life of a mountaineer

This autobiography is one of the most appealing in its genre. From the first page one is captivated by the tone of the writing. There is no bravado in these pages, no dull lists of achievements and summits gained. Instead one is immersed in the mountains and can fully understand the impact they had on this mountaineers life, from early boy-hood onwards. For those who know the beauty of the mountains this is a book for you.
