The Beckoning Silence by Joe Simpson
A personal and introspective account of the author's climbing career, marked by a climactic assault on the North Face of the Eiger.
This narrative takes the reader through extreme experiences, from avalanches to ice-climbing and paragliding, as Simpson confronts his fears and grapples with the power of the mind and the frailties of the body.
