The second volume of Sir Christian Bonington's autobiography.
Bonington was the most famous of Britain's expeditionary climbers during the 1970s and 1980s. This book covers the years 1962-1972, years in which Bonington is cementing his resume as a climber and his reputation across the world - but before he assumed his later role as the leader of constant high-profile British expeditions to Everest and the Himalaya. Adventures covered here include meeting his wife, Wendy; the Central Tower of Paine in Chilean Patagonia; the tragic Eiger Direct climb with John Harlin; the Old Man of Hoy seas stack; Annapurna South Face; among others.
Three copies available, all first edition hardcover UK printings from Gollancz. All books have dust jackets in very good condition or better. All three have some sun-fading to the spines. All are flat-signed by Bonington on the title page.
