Description
Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Prize. A shrewd, appreciative appraisal of a century of British mountaineering literature, from O G Jones and W P Haskett Smith to the modern guidebook.

He leads the reader on a diverse tour, taking in essayists, fiction-writers, humorists, philosophers and even a hill fanzine.
