Downhill from Here: An exploration of why we climb mountains (hardback/SIGNED)

Mountaineering is glamorous but dangerous. Why does anyone do it? George Mallory’s ‘Because it’s there’ won’t cut it as an answer. In Downhill from Here – the extraordinary life of an ordinary mountaineer – we journey to find out.

The story takes us to Scotland, the Alps, East Africa, Russia and the Himalaya in winter. It's written by an ordinary mountaineer, for ordinary mountaineers, who are invited to explore what it means to live a mountaineering life - both its glories and downsides. Think John D. Burns, with a serious thread about who we mountaineers really are, and much bigger mountains.
