The story of the first ascents of many of Norway’s most dramatic peaks,
\nSlingsby’s book is still a very relevant guidebook to many Norwegian mountain
\nareas today. Slingsby was one of the leading climbers of his generation,
\nclimbing in Britain and the Alps, and he is still held in the highest regard
\nin Norway as the father of Norwegian mountaineering. In contrast to many areas
\nof the Alps, the Norse mountains have been spared the same proliferation of
\ntelepheriques and ski resorts; and so many of the corries and peaks are still
\nin the same wilderness condition as when Slingsby first climbed them. ‚Norway:
\nThe Northern Playground‘ has long been regarded by many as an indispensable
\nwork on the region. So, if you’re looking for the English language overview of
\nthe Norwegian mountains or just an exciting ripping yarn to while away a long
\nwinter’s night, this book cannot be recommended enough. <\/p>\n
The 2003 edition will have a new introduction written by Tony Howard, renowned
\nfor the first successful ascent of Troll Wall and latterly, the desert climbs
\nof Wadi Rum. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
