Vertical pleasure

The secret life of a taxman: Fowler tells about the highs and the lows of his
remarkably climbing career… It is also an extremely funny book, and
overflows with the irrepressible urge to climb! Early climbs in Britain, the
Alps, the Andes and the Himalaya. Mick goes on a big adventure – several in
fact!

Mick Fowler describes his early years from walking in the Lakes with his
father, through to Scottish ice, Dover chalk, and culminating in the epic
Golden Pillar of Spantik in the Karakorum. 224 p.
