Great review of what appears to be a worthy homage (can't have been easy!) to an incredibly important figure in the climbing world. Thank you.

Loved the book but the spine on my copy is also on its way out. I'd also quibble about the quality or reproduction of some of the photographs. Very poor in some instances and I would have preferred if they had been left out if they weren't going to be quality, That said it's a great reminder of a fantastic character from almost another age.
