'In an era characterized by commercial imperatives and a shrinking frontier, alpinism no longer seems to know where it is going. Perhaps the sport can begin to see the future by understanding where it has been.' https://t.co/rl4zyb5sBa

[The Spectator 🇺🇸 @TheSpectator]

"The White Ladder, Light’s hugely entertaining book, is divided into four sections, following four types of climbers in a loosely chronological narrative."
