Description
"Hold the Heights" adds a reassessment of the late Victorians, examines the important influence of the Munich School and considers the Americas' separate development in detail. This is a world-wide appraisal of the sport, tracing the development of mountaineering up to the ascent of Everest and examining the foundations laid down for the phenomenal expansions of climbing techniques, equipment and attitudes in the second half of the 20th century.
