Winner of the Boardman Tasker Award 1992: ‘A fresh, original, important and deeply knowing voice from the centre of activity and living with, on, in mountains’ (Boardman Tasker Judges comments) Will McLewin is the first British mountaineer known to have climbed without guides, the complete list of Alpine 4000 metre peaks. His narrative centres on the essential character of the climbs and on events on the day; it is rarely a step by step description. Any mountaineer going to the Alps will benefit from -and be entertained by - the author's experiences and observations.
