Description
Steve Backshall's love affair with the mountains has taken him to some of the world's wildest places. In "Mountain: A Life on the Rocks", he recounts his most breathtaking expeditions, including first ascents in jungle peaks and tabletop mountains, as well as harrowing adventures in treacherous terrain. From the 'Death Zone' on the roof of the world to the Arctic and Alps, Steve shares stories of exploration, terror, and near-disaster. He recalls his apprenticeship in mountaineering with the Indian army and the lessons he learned from some of his most ill-fated expeditions. This is a book that tries to get to the heart of why we risk our lives to climb and conquer. It's also a love letter to the wilderness, from one of the world's most adventurous spirits.
