Letters from Chamonix - David Stevenson (Amazon kindle .mobi)

"With Letters to Chamonix, David Stevenson demonstrates his ability as one of the great prose stylists of modern climbing literature. His words reflect that shift in vision that arrives at the most intense and quiet moments high on a mountain or a cliff wall; like shafts of winter sunlight mirroring off ice and stone, that sense of transmutation from the everyday to the transcendent flickers beneath these tales with a pale and fiery light."
