A Passion for Mountains presents a compilation of stories written
by members of the British Mountain Guides. Documenting both
personal climbing and mountaineering adventures as well as those
shared with clients, the stories in this book represent the
diversity of the mountain activities these professionals thrive on:
from first ascents on British winter cliffs to thought-provoking
ascents of north faces in the European Alps, and from the big walls
of Yosemite and Patagonia to endurance when facing the challenges
of the high Himalaya. This fascinating account of mountaineering
gives an insight into the climbing adventures that contribute to
every Guide's experience, and explores the difficulties that even
some of the world's most experienced mountaineers encounter when
making decisions in the mountains. It gives us a unique perspective
into what motivates and drives climbers; where they find fulfilment
and reward and at the same time how they deal with failure.
