Iconic climbs and iconic climber

The story is punk and raw and reflects a specific time in climbing, music and people. The climbs are hard, conditions sometimes ideal, often not. Survival was a good decision and a roll of a dice away.
Nihilistic and self obsessed, slightly elitist in parts. All for a good reason.

I find the (mis-)pronunciation of French routes and cities and names by the narrator a bit irritating

Pretty execrable

There are so many good climbing books out there. Don't waste time on this one. The narrative is aggressive, self obsessed, thick with arrogant truisms, often low level offensive to other cultures, and lacking in insight. The writing is bad. Also, the narrator doesn't know how to pronounce "alpinism".
