‚If we were guaranteed success in everything we tried then life would be
\npretty boring.‘ Mainstream news reports about climbing are dominated by action
\nfrom the world’s highest mountains, more often than not focusing on tragedy
\nand controversy. Far removed from this high-altitude circus, a group of
\nvisionary and specialist mountaineers are seeking out eye-catching objectives
\nin the most remote corners of the greater ranges and attempting first ascents
\nin lightweight style.<\/p>\n
Mick Fowler is the master of the small and remote Himalayan expedition. He has
\nbeen at the forefront of this pioneering approach to alpinism for over thirty
\nyears, balancing his family life, a full-time job at the tax office and his
\nannual trips to the greater ranges in order to attempt mountains that may
\nnever have been seen before by Westerners, let alone climbed by them.<\/p>\n
In No Easy Way, his third volume of climbing memoirs following Vertical
\nPleasure and On Thin Ice, Fowler recounts a series of expeditions to stunning
\nmountains in China, India, Nepal and Tibet. Alongside partners including Paul
\nRamsden, Dave Turnbull, Andy Cave and Victor Saunders, he attempts striking,
\ntechnically challenging unclimbed lines on Shiva, Gave Ding and Mugu Chuli –
\nwith a number of ascents winning prestigious Piolets d’Or, the Oscars of the
\nmountaineering world. Written with his customary dry wit and understatement,
\nhe manages challenges away – the art of securing a permit for Tibet – and at
\nhome – his duties as Alpine Club president – all the while pursuing his
\npassion for exploratory mountaineering.<\/p>\n
