High Achiever: The Life and Climbs of Chris Bonington
The Life and Climbs of Chris Bonington
Jim Curran
The best-known mountaineer in Britain for almost 40 years, Sir Chris Bonington is still the public face of climbing. Through his books, lectures, and TV films, he's become a great ambassador for promoting every ascent in the mountain world. At 65 years old, this self-described "climbaholic's" passion and enthusiasm remain undiminished. Despite his high profile, Bonington essentially remains a shy, complex man with many human failings. The man high up on the Eiger, Annapurna, and Everest is a leader frequently assailed by self-doubt and often devastated by the deaths of close friends. High Achiever examines Bonington's deepest motives and reveals the joys and occasional despair of living a life at the limits of physical and mental experiences.
