Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Essays from the Edge gathers fifty years of selected writing by Dennis Gray, one of British climbing's most influential voices. These twenty-one essays, spanning one of British mountaineering's most exciting periods, provide a compelling narrative of a life studying the art of climbing and of…living it first-hand on the cliffs and mountains of the world in the company of some of the sport's most colourful characters of the last century. Vivid portraits anchor the collection: the legendary Joe Brown and Don Whillans, members of the Rock and Ice Club; American pioneers Royal Robbins, Jeff Lowe and Warren Harding; and unsung originals such as the Barley brothers, Robin and Tony. A wide-ranging 1973 interview with climber Allan Austin gives a fascinating insight into the Yorkshire scene of the early 1970s. Dennis's commentary expands to cover other issues, such as the 1932 Kinder Mass Trespass, climbing's debut in the Olympics and the development of modern rock climbing in Belgium. Broad in scope yet precise in observation, Essays from the Edge celebrates the values and spirit of British climbing. AUTHOR: Dennis Gray began climbing in 1947, aged eleven. By fifteen he had tested himself on Yorkshire's gritstone outcrops, Skye, the Lake District, North Wales, Glen Coe and, in winter, Ben Nevis. After school he studied printing and ran a photogravure unit reproducing Old Master prints. During national service in Manchester in 1954 he joined the Rock and Ice Club, climbing with Joe Brown and Don Whillans. He first visited the Alps in 1955, climbing in the Dolomites and Alps with Brown, before making the first ascent of the Manikaran Spires in 1961. Throughout the 1960s he organised expeditions to the then-unclimbed Gauri Sankar (7,134 metres) and, in 1966, to Alpamayo (5,947 metres) in Peru's Cordillera Blanca; the expedition film of which, The Magnificent Mountain, won best mountain film at Trento. He also climbed in Yosemite. He went on to study social psychology at Leeds and in 1968 led a successful expedition to Mukar Beh (6,069 metres) in Himachal Pradesh. After a short spell in Kenya he returned to Britain in 1970. Appointed the British Mountaineering Council's first professional national officer in 1971 and its general secretary in 1974, he served for eighteen years. His first autobiography, Rope Boy, appeared in 1970. With his former wife he launched the Boxing Day Chevin Chase in 1979, a seven-mile race in Otley attracting over 1,500 runners. After leaving the BMC in 1989 he led climbs and treks in the Himalaya and Morocco, then returned to academia in China, lecturing at four universities. He completed three research projects at Oxford and later served a term as a Churchill Fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge. Mountain Lover, his second autobiography, was published in 1990, and later books included stories, a novel, essays and poems. In 1995, he cofounded the Leeds Wall, the UK's second climbing centre. He has travelled to over sixty countries and remains in touch with friends worldwide. Essays from the Edge gathers fifty years of selected writing by Dennis Gray, one of British climbings most influential voices. These 21 essays, spanning one of British mountaineerings most exciting periods, provide a compelling narrative of a life studying the art of climbing and of living it first-hand on the mountains of the world. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Winner of the Kekoo Naoroji Award Doug Scott was a legend among mountaineers. His expeditions, undertaken over a period of five decades, are unparalleled achievements. This book describes the extraordinary drama of them all, from the Himalaya to New Zealand, Patagonia, Yosemite and Alaska. It includes his… famous 'epic' on The Ogre, one of the hardest peaks in the world to climb, his ascent of Kangchenjunga without supplementary oxygen and his ascent, with Dougal Haston, of Everest in 1975. Catherine Moorehead also uncovers the elusive man behind the obsessive mountaineer. From his rumbustious youth in Nottingham through two tempestuous marriages to a secure third marriage, she shows how Scott matured in thought and action as his formidable global reputation increased. In doing so she reveals him to be a clash of opposites, an infuriating monomaniac who took extraordinary risks yet who developed a deep interest in Buddhism and inspired widespread affection. Scott spent almost as long as his climbing career in founding and developing Community Action Nepal, providing schools and health posts in remote parts of Nepal, where he is still much revered. Doug Scott died in 2020.
