4.9/5 (29831 ratings)

Description:Mountain Solitudes is the brilliant follow-up to Aat Vervoorn's acclaimed first book, Beyond the Snowline.It draws on 15 years of solo mountaineering and tramping in the rugged South Westland section of New Zealand's Southern Alps - country that includes the high peaks of Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman, the distant Mr Hooker, and such wild and remote valley systems as the Landsborough, the Paringa and the Copland.In a reflective and original style, Vernoon explores a number of central themes, particularly that of gaining mastery in, rather than over, the mountain environment, and a rejection of the notion that a good mountaineering trip has to have close shaves and suffering to be successful. Both intelligent and humorous, this is not only a book about adventure, but an insightful look at the experience of mountain travel and life in the wilderness, and why it profoundly affects so many people.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
