Climber's Choice : the Best Climbing Writers Present Their Work 1. Ausgabe

The Best Climbing Writers Present Their WorkEdited by Pat AmentNo other sport has produced such an extensive volume of fine writing as climbing. Climber's Choice brings together Chris Bonington, Greg Child, Joe Simpson, Stephen Venables, and 19more of the world's best climbing authors, who were asked to select those short pieces of which they were the proudest. The result is a convocation of men and women who have conquered many of the most forbidding mountains and rock faces in the world and who write about their experiences with an uncommon force that has the power to transfix, amaze, and occasionally terrify.
