The Story of British Climbing

Simon Thompson
‘To the impartial observer’, writes Simon Thompson, ‘Britain does not appear to have any mountains. Yet the British invented the sport of mountain climbing’. In a book that sheds light on how mountaineering both reflected and influenced attitudes to nature and beauty, heroism and death, Thompson describes how the sport began in Britain and looks at the objectives, achievements and, very often, the eccentricities of great British mountaineers over the last 200 years.
