"Dick Dorworth's latest book is an intensely personal exploration of the world of extreme rock climbing and mountaineering. Dorworth has condensed a lifetime of adventures on the heights into a series of gripping tales. These are the stories of Dicks most demanding climbs, from the vertical cliffs of Yosemite Valley to the ice shrouded peaks of Alaska and Patagonia climbers round-the-world tour. Plus an engaging series of portraits and profiles of some of the best known and most remarkable climbers and mountaineers of our times - all of them close friends of the author. And the book ends with two imaginative works of climbing fiction - a rare genre, beautifully realized. Dick Dorworth takes us inside the private worlds, the fears and ambitions, the thoughts and above all, the passions of that rare tribe of contemporary adventurers - climbers."-- from the publisher.
