Some epic climbing tales, tragedies, and humour combine to make this a book well worth reading... ( ) "Identical twins Adrian and Alan Burgess have climbed from the Alps to the Himalaya, from Patagonia to McKinley. They began climbing as youngsters in their native Yorkshire. Three decades later they have become legends in the international climbing community, renowned not only for their strength and skill on the world's highest peaks, but also for the raucous energy and devil-may-care exuberance they exhibit off the mountain. In their first jointly-written full-length book, they detail the excitement and hilarity of their eventful lives. They explore experiences ranging from how it feels to be identical twins to the thrill of standing atop Mount Everest and the anguish of death in the Karakoram. Their tales - some tall, all juicy - are full of humour, passion and poignancy, reflecting their commitment to living life to the fullest." - from the jacket cover. These guys are crazy, but they write great adventure stories, especially of interest to amateur mountaineers. no reviews | add a review
