SCH-MOUNTAINEER

Rating:
Summary: A history of mountaineering as made and lived by a master.
Review: Chris Bonington has climbed through and indeed contributed to forge the transition between postwar mountaineering and the present high-tech over-achieving state of this art. Mankind is in debt for the many milestones in the history of mountain climbing that Bonington has set. Excellent photographs ranging in time from his beginnings in bouldering to the great Himalayan days.
