This is a wonderful collection of short stories, both true and fiction, about climbing. H.G. Wells' humorous short story "Little Mother Up the Morderberg" about a mother and son climbing expedition was the most entertaining. Some, including the fictional stories, are quite tame and do not induce the anticipated vertigo, while others recounting misadventure have a greater impact. Pete Sinclair's harrowing story is one that will stick in the memory. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Year after year, in spite of monumental dangers, climbers return to the world's most difficult mountains, whether it's the cliffs of Yosemite or the peaks of the Himalaya. At these places, even the most cautious climber must accept the possibilities of moving unroped to save time, braving terrain vulnerable to rockfall, trusting afternoon thunderstorms to hold off long enough to get below treeline. Mistakes, bad weather and bad luck often lead to death. This collection offers harrowing accounts of extreme mountaineering and its potentially fatal conseqences.
