Finished: The Boys of Everest, by Clint Willis 📚. A history of (some) British climbers from the early 1950s to the early 1990s. The author is a climber himself, and this book focuses quite a bit of attention on the innter mental and emotional states of various climbers. Some of this comes from interviews, some is inferred from letters and other documents or (I suspect) the author’s own experiences. Rings true and makes for a distinctly different climbing book, though it will be impossible to ever know how accurate some of this stuff is.
