Within recent years, Bill has again summited a few climbs from his younger days, often reflecting on where senior climbers fit in the sport's changing social--and environmental--landscape. This memoir is a relatable and nostalgic account of a life well-spent in nature, as the author muses on his long-past adventures enriched and nurtured by the wisdom of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toplight Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573436629143,"sku":"9781476679631","price":2613.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476679631.webp?v=1774892849","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mountain-climber-a-memoir-9781476679631","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
