المراجعة التحريرية | Climbing Days is a special book, not quite like anything I have ever read before, and a law unto itself. It's a wayward, funny, warm, wandering, open, inspiring journey back into the lives of two remarkable people, and out into the remarkable landscapes they explored. (ROBERT MACFARLANE, author of Landmarks). [A]n affectionate portrait... For non-climbers, the attractions of mountaineering might seem inexplicable, but Richards conveys much of the thrill and sense of achievement. The resulting book is an entertaining and absorbing account of past and present relationships forged amid extreme physical endeavour. (Sunday Times). Climbing Days is the most enormous fun. Richards has something of Jerome K Jerome about him. It's a miracle he lived to tell this tale and Climbing Days is a wonderful achievement. (Katharine Norbury Observer) |
