At the Rising of the Moon
Dermott Somers's collection of mountaineering stories from Ireland and the Alps. Somers writes with a literary intensity unusual in climbing literature — the prose is as demanding as the routes.
Geoffrey Winthrop Young
Alan Hankinson's biography of the British mountaineer, poet, and educator who lost a leg in World War I and returned to the Alps on a prosthetic. Young was the bridge between Victorian and modern mountaineering — his influence shaped a generation.
