A brilliant book, well-written, gripping, honest and very moving
Chris Bonington
A tale of split lives fused into one extraordinary story of adventure, laughter, tears and joy
Joe Simpson
Andy Cave's compelling autobiography is, like Joe Simpson's Touching the Void, a gripping book on mountaineering that will appeal even to those who didn't know they were interested in climbing ... Fascinating
Observer
Enthralling ... Cave's elegant writing draws on the congruence between mining and climbing, the black humour, the danger, the camaraderie ... Excellent

There are few other climbers with the writing skills to be able to pull this off. There are fewer still who have led such an interesting and varied life as Cave
