| Touching the Void - by Joe Simpson |
| Subject: Mountaineering, Biography Published by: Vintage Price: £7.99 ISBN: 0099771012 | Buy via Boots |
One of the most gripping books I've ever read. Simpson's first book relates his terrifying (& miraculous) experiences after a climbing accident in Peru. Not just for hardened climbers, this book give a wickedly sharp insight into the world of high altitude mountaineering and of the human instinct for survival. Winner of the Boardman-Tasker prize and already a modern Classis. Highly recommended (for everyone). |
