From boyhood scrambles to serious ascents, Finch recalls climbing in Corsica, on the Wetterhorn, the Jungfrau, the Matterhorn and other Alpine peaks, often guideless and in hard conditions. He also writes of the 1922 Everest expedition, on which he climbed using bottled oxygen, and argues for mountaineering as a game second only to life.
