Collected mountaineering writings of Greg Child, foreword by J. Simpson.
\nEntertaining even to those who have never been above sea level, Child’s
\nstories reveal climbing’s other face. His description of the daily habits of
\nmountaineers on expedition (who don’t bathe for months) is both disgusting and
\nhorrifyingly funny. A post-climb fiasco in the offices of petty Pakistani
\nbureaucrats proves that not all epics take place on high mountain faces.
\nFalling of a rock climb in front of his mother is an exercise in humility.<\/p>\n
Child takes up controversy with the same keen insight. His investigation of
\nTomo Cesen’s claimed first ascent of Lhotse’s south wall is considered the
\ndefinitive report on this controversial event. A hard look at the media frenzy
\naround the death of Alison Hargreaves on K2 evolves into a brilliant,
\nimpassioned defense of a friend. He also speaks out on the money- and media-
\ndriven expeditions that now crowd Everest. b& w photographs, 222 p.
