70 years of achievements and failures. This book is based on the author's experiences covering over seventy years of walking and climbing, but it is far more than a mere record. Within its pages you will find joy and sadness, triumph and tragedy recounted against a background of family life with its necessary restraints. It is neither an autobiography nor a travelogue, but you will find here the essence of an enquiring spirit condensed from a lifetime of contemplating what mountains mean to the human condition. Youthful misdemeanours, accidents and mature aspirations (not all were successful) are recounted with equal candour.
