Summit: 150 Years of the Alpine Club
George Band
 
 
To celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the Alpine Club, George Band has compiled a history of mountaineering adventure.
 
Special price for members. Every copy sold raises money for the AC Climbing Fund!
 
He begins his story at the very conception of the Alpine Club and takes us through the evolution of an extensive Alpine tradition, how climbing developed between the wars, right through to post-war successes. He exlpores the Golden Decade of the 8000m peaks during the 1950s, and how improvements in technology have enabled even steeper faces and bigger walls to be overcome.
 
With 300 illustrations from the Alpine Club archives and members' own photographs, many never before published, this is a beautiful book to own as well as a compelling read.
