Messner, Bonatti are great readings but damaging to the ego

Also the late greats Tasker and Boardman.

The two of them are in kahoots with Irvine and Mallory.

Still strolling the upper ridges and steps, enjoying the contented, peaceful haze of the alpenglow with chardonnay in hand.

Sharing a pipe with Rob and Scott on the western cwm.

Huddling together silently as darkness decends over the mountain and the evening stars make their way across the threshold of night and day.

The collection would not be complete without Greg Child. Bonnington for an insight into the glory days and the military approach to putting a man on the summit.
