Description

This is a story of single-minded determination, strength and courage in a pursuit which owes much of its value and compulsion to the risks entailed, which thereby stimulate superlative performances. It is also a story of the stresses, strains and tensions of living in constant anxiety, often with only one other person for long periods never far from the borderline with moments of terror, and of the close and vital human relationships which spring from those circumstances. It is a moving, exciting, inspirational book about the adventuring spirit which seeks endless new climbing challenges to face, alluring problems to solve and difficulties to overcome, for 'it is not reaching the summit which is important, but the journey to it'. ....."
