From the Alps to Annapurna<\/p>\n
I have given my whole life to the mountains. Born at the foot of the Alps, I
\nhave been a ski champion, a professional guide, an amateur of the greatest
\nclimbs in the Alps and a member of eight expeditions to the Andes and the
\nHimalayas. If the word has any meaning at all, I am a mountaineer.<\/p>\n
So Lionel Terray begins his autobiography, with typical Gallic arrogance, but
\ntypical commitment. One of the most colourful characters of the mountaineering
\nworld, his writing is true to his uncompromising but jubilantly passionate
\nlove for the mountains.<\/p>\n
Terray was one of the greatest alpinists the world has ever seen, and his
\nautobiography is one of the finest and most important mountaineering books
\never written.<\/p>\n
Climbing with mountaineering legends such as Gaston Rebuffat, Maurice Herzog
\nand Louis Lachenal, Terray made first ascents in the Alps, Alaska, the Andes,
\nand the Himalaya. He was at the centre of global mountaineering and climbing
\nat a time when Europe was emerging from the shadow of World War II, and he
\nemerged as a hero. The gripping adventures told within Conquistadors of the
\nUseless capture the energy of French post-war optimism, a time when France
\nneeded to re-assert itself and when climbing triumphs were more valued than at
\nany other time in history.<\/p>\n
Terray’s death, in the Vercors, robbed mountaineering of one of its most
\npassionate and far-sighted figures. His energy, so obvious in his book, will
\ninspire generations of climbers for years to come. A mountaineering classic.<\/p>\n
