The Beckoning Silence

by Simpson, Joe

Publisher : Vintage Publishing
Illustrations : col+ b/w photos

Description:

In a narrative which takes the reader through extreme experiences from an avalanche in South America, ice-climbing in the Alps and Colorado and paragliding in Spain, before his final confrontation with the Eiger and two more deaths, Simpson reveals the inner truth of climbing, exploring both the power of the mind and the frailties of the body.
