A good companion read to A Life on the Edge by Eric Jones.

Leo Dickinson beautifully explains and captures how some amazing climbs have been filmed and almost nonchalantly describes the complexity of camerawork at high altitude.
I first read this in the early 80s and found it again recently in a second hand bookshop. It has lost none of its charm and the excitement of his adventures really comes across in a very readable style.
If you are interested in climbing, adventure, or just how to film the seemingly impossible – this is the book for you.
Great escapism from perhaps a less well known film maker – who deserves better recognition.
