The Wildest Dream: The Biography of George Mallory por Peter Gillman

what I expected to be an audio turned out to be a documentary.

very impressive ...meeting Mallory and family and seeing a replication of the 1924 climb contrasted with Conrad Anker's 1999 climb.
the discovery of Mallory's body was intriguing
The question, however, still exists...did he make it to the top, leave the photo of his wife and die on the descent....?

I'll read another account....perhaps Because It's There: The Life of George Mallory (Dudley Green)
He was quite a compelling character..… (más)

The Wildest Dream: The Biography of George Mallory por Peter Gillman

Well researched biography, interesting to learn he was not only a mountaineer & climbed Everest but was in the Bloomsbury Set.

Direttissima; the Eiger assault por Peter Gillman

One of several accounts of the direct assault on the Eigerwand in 1966, in which John Harlin fell to his death. Co-authored by Haston with photographs by Bonington, this is the inside scoop.
