Ascent: A Life Spent Climbing on the Edge – Chris Bonington

The Legendary Mountaineer’s Most Death-Defying Memoir Yet
Chris Bonington—Britain’s greatest climber—recounts six decades of vertical survival, from the Eiger’s North Face to K2’s Savage Mountain. More than adventure: a meditation on fear, loss, and obsession.

🏔️ Heart-Stopping Moments:

• 1975 Everest Southwest Face: The first ascent that redefined Himalayan climbing.

• Tragedy on The Ogre: The climb that cost him two friends… and almost his sanity.

• Aging on the Edge: Still summiting at 80—“The mountains don’t care how old you are.”

For: Armchair adventurers, climbers, and anyone who thrives on the razor’s edge.
