Mountains hold perennial fascination and mystery. For thbusands of years they were regarded with fear and awe, often imbued with religious significance, and little attempt was made to climb them. Today, the highest peaks have been climbed, yet the challenges remain every bit as great as in the. early days of alpenstock and plus-fours - to find new routes, to climb without oxygen, to push body and spirit to fresh limits.
Divided into geographical sections, Great Climbs looks at the development of climbing in the great mountain ranges of the world. Each section places the climbs in context with an introduction to the history of the region. Foremost mountaineers of our day and of recent history then give personal accounts of memorable climbs, offering an illuminating insight into the characters of those who choose to live lift beyond the bounds of everyday experience.
The nature of climbing is continually changing. Expeditions and exploits are increasingly undertaken by groups of like-minded companions regardless of nationality, who look to mountains in all corners of the Earth. In this unique collection, Great Climbs celebrates such diversity, from the classic Alpine climbs, through 50 years of expeditioning, to the recent ascents of the lonely peaks of Antarctica. We discover how climbing is more than a mere sport, satisfying the desire for adventure that most of us restrain. Here, climbers young and old share what their mountaineering means to them.
