Shortlisted for the Boardman Tasker Prize. A shrewd, appreciative appraisal of a century of British mountaineering literature, from O G Jones and W P Haskett Smith to the modern guidebook. Graham Wilson, several-times author in the field himself, takes a look at a long, varied and (mostly) honourable tradition. He leads the reader on a diverse tour, taking in essayists, fiction-writers, humorists, philosophers and even a hill fanzine.
