    Description: The Alpine Journal reports on the world's most significant mountaineering from 2022, featuring articles from Nepal, Pakistan, Greenland and the Alps by leading alpinists Mára Hole'ek, Callum Johnson, Jacob Cook and Tom Livingstone. How women were written out of mountaineering history also features in this year's Alpine Journal, with Suzanne Strawther saving an early female ascent of the Matterhorn from oblivion, the lost art of Alpine pioneer Elizabeth Campbell, an excerpt from Rachel Hewitt's ground-breaking book In Her Nature and from John Middendorf a reappraisal of Miriam O' Brien, a leading alpinist from the 1920s. John Harding looks back on the mountain life of writer Robin Fedden, Dennis Gray recalls the legend that was Don Whillans and John Wilkinson revisits the aftermath of the first winter ascent of the Aiguilles du Diable: the Devil's Needles. Climate change and its impacts on the world's mountains are becoming obviously and rapidly worse. We have reports from the Himalaya and on how retreating glaciers are affecting the flora of the Alps. With reports, reviews, art and comment from around the globe, the Alpine Journal has everything the dedicated alpinist needs to inspire and reflect.

    Description: I have given my whole life to the mountains. Born at the foot of the Alps, I have been a ski champion, a professional guide, an amateur of the greatest climbs in the Alps and a member of eight expeditions to the Andes and the Himalaya. If the word has any meaning at all, I am a mountaineer.' So Lionel Terray begins Conquistadors of the Useless - not with arrogance, but with typical commitment. One of the most colourful characters of the mountaineering world, his writing is true to his uncompromising and jubilant love for the mountains. Terray was one of the greatest alpinists of his time, and his autobiography is one of the finest and most important mountaineering books ever written. Climbing with legends Gaston Rébuffat, Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, Terray made first ascents in the Alps, Alaska, the Andes and the Himalaya. He was at the centre of global mountaineering at a time when Europe was emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and he came out a hero. Conquistadors of the Useless tells of his wartime escapades, of life as an Alpine mountain guide, and of his climbs - including the second ascent of the Eiger North Face and his involvement in the first ever ascent of an 8,000-metre peak, Annapurna. His tales capture the energy of French post-war optimism, a time when France needed to reassert herself and when climbing triumphs were more valued than at any other time in history. Terray's death, in the Vercors, robbed mountaineering of one of its most passionate and far-sighted figures. His energy, so obvious in Conquistadors of the Useless, will inspire for generations to come. A mountaineering classic.

  • Waterstones Killing Dragons

    Price: £12.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Full of eccentric characters, Killing Dragons is the story of the first British mountaineers to tackle the Alpine summits of Switzerland during the late eighteenth century. Originally the explorers of this area were poorly equipped, wearing ordinary shoes and no protective clothing. The British arrived intent on reaching every Alpine summit, and 'mountaineering' was born. The title refers to the mythical creatures said to inhabit these peaks: 'Here be dragons,' said the old maps.
