From Edward Whymper's conquest of the Matterhorn in 1865 to the development of modern rock-climbing in the late 19th Century and the first ascent of Everest in 1953, the Guardian has avidly covered the subject of mountaineering and climbing. From articles on scrambling and fell-running to debates on the commercialisation of women climbers, this is a beautiful and unique collection of previously unpublished pieces from the Guardian archive. Among the many unsigned leaders, letters and reports from around the globe are pieces written by the Guardian's more distinguished contributors, including James Morris, Jim Perrin and Harry Griffin.

Previously published in hardback as The Guardian Book of Mountains.

A delightful companion for ramblers and climbers alike, "The Guardian" dips into its rich archive of mountaineering articles to produce a compilation that sold 5000 in hardback and features contributions from Jan Morris, Jim Perrin and Harry Griffin.

Draws together a selection of "Guardian" writing that is both informative and celebratory, tracking the sport's history and uncovering how public perception has changed over time. This book features articles on scrambling, fell-running, rock-climbing and rambling.
