It was whilst reading the captions about where these places were, who was climbing and just how bloody hard some of the climbs were, I started to laugh. Neil and Tim clearly have a way with words that brings to life their friendship, intrigue and driving need for (mis) adventure that has been realised through their passion for travel. Now travel is a subject I can relate to - and I found that their vivid and humourous tales of foreign lands whet my appetite to jump on a place at once!

This book is a mix of anecdotes, adventures and inspiration whose appeal stretches beyond the rock & ice climbing scene and into the minds of anyone who has ever set out on a quest... or wished they had the balls to do so.
