The life of one of Britain's most notable climbing photographers and authors. By the author of K2 Triumph and Tragedy, this book tells of Jim Curran's experiences as a climbing cameraman. He has filmed with Brown in the Kakoram and with Bonington, Boardman, Tasker and Rouse in China. He climbed with Whillans in Cornwall and did The Old Man of Hoy for charity. Jim Curran, climbing cameraman, writer, film-maker and raconteur, has climbed and filmed in many of the world's great ranges, from the Himalaya and the Karakoram to the Atlas and the Andes.In Suspended Sentences he tells how his love of climbing and his craft as a film-maker have developed together from an ill-judged epic on Lliwedd, through filming on Ben Nevis a reconstruction of the first ascent of the Bat, to accompanying Chris Bonington to China, St Kilda and Nanga Parbat.
