Maybe the last mountain explorer
Reading this book one not just discovers great mountain adventures from Nanda Devi and Karakorum to mount Kenya and Patagonia glaciers but the best mountaineering philosophy. Shipton liked as any other to reach the top of a mountain but even more the poetry of mountain landscape and of untrodden country.
