In Distant Snows, mountaineer John Harding recollects his worldwide
adventures spanning sixty years across Europe, Iran, East Africa,
Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Arctic. He climbed many
classic peaks including Mont Blanc, Mount Kenya, and Mount Cook,
explored obscure ranges, and pioneered ski mountaineering
expeditions in Turkey, Spain and Greece. Written with candour, a
sharp eye for the tragicomic and with a sympathetic insight into
the history and culture of indigenous mountain peoples, Harding's
compelling narrative proclaims the power of nature, the glory of
landscape and the spirit of the mountains. Distant Snows is a
window into the mind and passions of a mountaineer while faithfully
preserving the memory of the many characters who accompanied him on
his mountain odyssey. With a foreword by the celebrated explorer
Robin Hanbury-Tenison, Distant Snows offers tales of serious
undertakings as well as more leisurely exploits, complemented by
Harding's personal photographs and hand-drawn maps. This is a
must-read for mountaineers, lovers of the natural world and those
with aspirations of adventure.
