GAMES CLIMBERS PLAY: a selection of 100 mountaineering articles



I have been dipping into this great anthology before bedtime. No doubt if you climbed in the 1960s or 70s many of these stories and articles will be familiar. Last night I re-read: Patey's THE ART OF CLIMBING DOWN GRACEFULLY, Campbell's DOUGAL HASTON - CUMHA DUGHALL, Amy's THE GREATEST CLIMBER IN THE WORLD, and Tejada-Flores' seminal piece, GAMES CLIMBERS PLAY. Pull it off the shelf, re-read it ... and of course enjoy the cartoons. (CLICK ON THE IMAGES TO ENLARGE THE CARTOONS.)
