Wonderful tour thru the great literature of mountaineering,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Armchair Mountaineer (Paperback)
Hey, this is a great book, from start to finish. It contains wonderful excerpts from the literature of mountaineering/alpinism/rock climbing, people who take themselves seriously, people who don't take themselves seriously, moments from the history of mountaineering that form alps of their own (you should pardon the cliche) in the literature.I would consider this to be an excellent volume for anyone who has just finished =Into Thin Air= or =The Climb= and who would like to find more to read in the genre. Harvesting the citation list alone is going to keep my reading pile fat and happy for months! Disclaimer: I'm not a mountain-climber, and I don't play one on TV; I'm just an average wage slug who enjoys a good story well told. |
