4.0 out of 5 stars A Remarkable View From A Spectacular Climber, December 17, 2004

Utku Kaynar (Ankara, TURKEY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: I Chose to Climb (Paperback)

It's a complete story of Bonington's first years, beginning from novice winters in Scotland to the first English ascent of Eiger.

You can see the whole evolution and development through the book, and the classical dilemma between career and climbing, which is solved by the choice of the latter.

If you are interested in being a climber/mountaineer, this is a remarkable biography.
