Britain’s Mountain Heritage is one of the oldest in the world and, almost from
the beginning, reached out from small hills and crags to the greater ranges of
the Alps and the world’s highest mountains. This book provides a full, very
readable record of the way the sport has developed from the first recorded
climb to the present day. It additionally captures the extraordinary range of
personalities that mountaineering has spawned.
