About the Book

From Edward Whymper's conquest of the Matterhorn in 1865 to the development of modern rock-climbing in the late 19th Century and the first ascent of Everest in 1953, the Guardian has avidly covered the subject of mountaineering and climbing.

From articles on scrambling and fell-running to debates on the commercialisation of women climbers, this is a beautiful and unique collection of previously unpublished pieces from the Guardian archive. Among the many unsigned leaders, letters and reports from around the globe and pieces written by the Guardian's more distinguished contributors, including James Morris, Jim Perrin and Harry Griffin.
