Feeding the rat

A classic of adventure literature, this is the riveting story of the climbing
legend Mo Anthoine, who found his greatest joy in adventures that tested the
far limits of human endurance.

His passion for ‘feeding the rat’ made him the unsung hero of dozens of
terrifying, epic expeditions in the mountains, including the famous Ogre
expedition that almost killed Doug Scott and Sir Chris Bonington.

The book is also the story of the friendship between Mo and his co-adventurer,
Al Alvarez — the distinguished poet, critic and journalist.
