paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. "My Climbs in the Alps and Caucasus" is Fred Mummery's rousing and humorous account of his European climbing career. His book gives a flavour of the heroic era of mountaineering's beginnings - he was decades ahead of his time in realising that the essence of mountaineering lies not in ascending a peak, but in struggling with and overcoming difficulties. Dispensing with the use of guides, he laid the future for climbing as we know it today."My Climbs." is both a joyful, life-affirming tale of adventure and also a manifesto outlining Mummery's radical approach to climbing mountains. It's a fine legacy from a visionary mountaineer and should be on every Alpinist's or climber's bookshelf. Artikel-Nr. 250316005
