Summit: 150 Years of the Alpine Club

Summit: 150 Years of the Alpine Club
The Alpine Club is the oldest climbing club in the world, its members were the
first to climb many of the well-known peaks on all seven continents and it
continues to promote expeditions to the four corners of the globe. To
celebrate the Alpine Club’s 150th anniversary George Band (he of 1953 Everest
fame) has written this fascinating and in-depth history documenting its past
and continuing contribution to British climbing – the book is illustrated
throughout with stunning photos from the clubs archives and members.
