Thin White Line is the sequel to Learning to Breathe, Andy Cave’s bestselling
debut and winner of both the Boardman Tasker Prize and the Adventure Travel
Award at the Banff International Festival.
The narrative is set in Patagonia, Norway and Alaska, tackling some of the
severest challenges that modern alpinism can pose – he describes the colourful
characters that populate his story, both past and present, and vividly
recreates the joy and despair of climbing, carefully building the book to a
desperate finale.
