Mirrors in the cliffs

This entertaining anthology joins the highly popular The Games Climbers Play
as another confirmation of the diversity, humour, irony, drama and quality of
the best mountaineering writing. The selection, which is deliberately
international in character, contains items drawn from books, journals,
newsletters and magazines. It features the writings ofwell known literary
luminaries-Murray, Shipton, Schuster, Noyce, Tilman, Menlove Edwards, Clark,
Lunn, Drasdo, Patey and Smith. In addition more contemporary workby Ed
Drummond, Anne Sauvy, David Roberts, Greg Child, Rick Sylvester, Georges
Bettembourg, Kim Carrigan, Pat Littlejohn, Michael Tobias, Mick Fowler, John
Long, Max Jones, John Roskelley, Arlene Blum, Pat Ament and John Barry
provides a powerful reaffirmation that the literary side of the sport remains
strong. Sheridan Anderson`s cartoons again add irony to the text
