Chris Bonington: Mountaineer [ISBN : 1 898573 30 1]

Few climbers can match Chris Bonington's consistent success rate of mayor ascents which began in the fifties with important climbs in Britain and the Alps.  In the sixties he played a leading role in the Himalayas and Patagonia and in the early seventies moved to expedition leadership training at the outset of 'the big wall' phase of Himalayan climbing, finally climbing Everest its self in 1985 as a member of a Norwegian expedition.

This book is a photographic autobiography of thirty years of activity in top standard climbing on the worlds most challenging  mountains. Not just in the Himalayas but in expeditions to the Blue Nile, Sangay in Equador, Alaska, East Africa and Antarctica.
