This is a selection of one hundred mountaineering articles, poems, reviews, short stories, essays, polemical tracts. It is a 2005 revised edition - out of print since 2004 (under isbn 189[zasłonięte]3018). ''Games Climbers Play'' captures the joie de vivre that attends genuinely adventurous climbing while never loosing sight of the deadly serious game that it can become. Most entries are drawn from magazines and journals and these lend Games an immediacy not found in more scholarly selections. Nevertheless it collects many fine essays and these are spiced with a plethora of light-hearted and humorous items, plus some fiction, some poetry, and a number of polemical and philosophical tracts. Sheridan Anderson's cartoons puncture any hints of pomposity to complete a rabelaisian selection designed to provoke, entertain and inspire.
