'Mountaineer' - We all dream of getting out to the Himalayas, bagging that first ascent and repeating the classics. Chris Bonnington has been there and got the t-shirt (this last year he ascended Old Man of Hoy at 70!)

In this colourful photograph filled book, that you will flick through over and over again, Chris covers his thirty years of mountaineering history. Interesting accompanying stories and a lot of climbing heritage fill this book.

One for the coffee table and anyones book shelf.
