Whilst the author and co-author mentioned the K2 controversy, it's clear that Bonatti wasn't 'liked' from early in his career

This book is interesting - it's not written for readers, relying on an underlying knowledge, but also talking about things as if you don't know anything? I will say reading about hanging from mountains on a single rope upside down confirms (not that I needed it confirmed) that I am 100% an armchair mountaineer.

This is definitely not a good intro book, Bonatti is using terminology I have never ONCE come across before and I've read a good 20 mountaineering books by now!
