‚Man, the only good thing about that climb was that you were tied on to the
\nother end of the rope.‘<\/p>\n

Simon McCartney was a cocky young British alpinist climbing many of the
\nhardest routes in the Alps during the late seventies, but it was a chance
\nmeeting in Chamonix in 1977 with Californian ‚Stonemaster‘ Jack Roberts that
\nwould dramatically change both their lives and almost end Simon’s.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a Bradford Washburn photograph published in Mountain magazine,
\ntheir first objective was the 5,500-foot north face of Mount Huntington, one
\nof the most dangerous walls in the Alaska Range. The result was a route so
\nhard and serious that for decades nobody believed they had climbed it – it is
\nstill unrepeated to this day. Then, raising the bar even higher, they made the
\nfirst ascent of the south-west face of Denali, a climb that would prove almost
\nfatal for Simon, and one which would break the bond between him and climbing,
\nseparating the two young climbers for over three decades. But the bond between
\nSimon and Jack couldn’t remain dormant forever.<\/p>\n

A lifetime later, a chance reconnection with Jack gave Simon the chance to
\nbury the ghosts of what happened high on Denali, when he had faced almost
\ncertain death. The Bond is Simon McCartney’s story of these legendary climbs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
