Im going on holidays & find myself looking for a new book for the flight, As a young man I read Banner in the Sky, a novel about mountaineering & climbing & was wondering if anyone could suggest some books with similar story lines or about climbing.
I was looking for it but it was sold out.. so I picked up his other book “Into the Wild” so far its prity good.. but not much climbing or mountineering involved in it..

RE: Books
The book “Into Thin Air” by John Krakauer is a good one. Its about the deadliest day on Everest.

Joe Simpson – Touching the Void classic and Bear Grylls Facing Up isn’t bad either pretty honest account of Everest expedition.
