Gordon Stainforth Livres

A collection of photographs of the mountains of Britain from an artist who is also a mountaineer. Gordon Stainforth includes notes on the photographs, details of the rock formations, a salute to well known climbers and an exploration of the philosophy of mountaineering.

In the summer of 1969, as Apollo 11 was blasting off to the moon, two teenage twin brothers, with only three years' mountaineering experience, set off to climb one of the highest rock faces in Europe. This title offers a true account from Gordon Stainforth of a near-death experience on a mountain in Norway in 1969.
