This is the story of a theoretical astronomer who at age 40
switched from being a correspondence chess player to face new
challenges as a mountaineer. During the next 40 years, a number of
adventures were undertaken which sometimes became life-threatening
epics experienced alone. This involved visiting remote locations on
all the seven continents and also included wildlife safaris as a
second hobby. Although the style was often reckless, the dangers of
altitude were treated with respect. In this way, the summits of the
highest mountains in the Western Hemisphere were scaled without
headaches. The narrative illustrates the dangers of going alone and
emphasizes the importance of self-reliance. Other climbs were
carried out with small groups of friends or guided parties. At the
same time, many trips were made to get close to wild animals. In
short, the 34 self-contained individual chapters cover a variety of
encounters with uncorrupted nature, both living and dead.
