Description
High Risk Climbing to Extinction
Recalling the outrageous adventures of a generation of radical young climbers, Brian Hall takes readers on a journey through the golden age of Himalayan mountaineering. From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, a group of climbers with tiny budgets and high ambitions pioneered fast and light, alpine-style expeditions on some of the world's highest peaks.
With a focus on the risks and sacrifices made by these climbers, Hall's book is a gripping account of a legendary period in mountaineering history. The author, who has himself had a distinguished career as a mountain guide and film industry expert, shares stories of his own climbing exploits and the friends who risked their lives to stand on the world's highest peaks.
