A book about heroism

If you are "faint of heart" this might not be the book for you. Or...if you like..."they lived happily ever after" this is definately not for you...If you want to climb with the best..and have an idea of the sacrifices and "horrors" that these brave men endured to achieve the conquest of so many mountains, this for you. If you are an adventurer...even a disabled one like myself...you will enjoy this well documented book.
