Detailed Product Description
UK, 2017, 1st edition. 251 pages, color and b/w photois, printed on glossy stock for better detail. New trade paperback, 9''x6''. There is no writing in the book or other flaws. The Book is in New condition. Voytek Kurtyka is one of the greatest alpinists of all time. Born in 1947, he was one of the leading lights of the Polish golden age of mountaineering that redefined Himalayan climbing in the 1970s and 1980s. His visionary approach to climbing resulted in many renowned ascents, such as the complete Broad Peak traverse, the �night-naked� speed climbs of Cho Oyu and Shishapangma and, above all, the alpine-style first ascent of the West Face of Gasherbrum IV. Dubbed the �climb of the century�, his route on GIV with the Austrian Robert Schauer is � as of 2017 � unrepeated. His most frequent climbing partners were alpine legends of their time: Polish Himalayan giant Jerzy Kukuczka, Swiss mountain guide Erhard Loretan and British alpinist Alex MacIntyre. After repeated requests to accept the Piolets d�Or Lifetime Achievement Award (the Oscars of the climbing world), Kurtyka finally accepted the honour in the spring of 2016. A fiercely private individual, he has declined countless invitations for interviews, lectures and festival appearances, but he has agreed to collaborate with internationally renowned and award-winning author Bernadette McDonald on this long-awaited biography. Art of Freedom is a profound and moving profile of one of the international climbing world�s most respected, complex and reclusive mountaineers. 2017 Banff Mountain Book Festival Mountain Literature Award 2017 National Outdoor Book Award in the History/Biography 2017 Boardman/Tasker Mountaineering Literature Award. Shortlisted for the 2018 Kekoo Naoroji Book Award for Himalayan Literature from the Himalayan Club.
