Foreword<br />
in this collection of climbing tales, <strong>Phil</strong> <strong>Gribbon</strong> chronicles episodes<br />
from his long lifetime as a mountaineer, taking the reader from early days<br />
in Ireland, to the Arctic and the Far East, but mostly to Scotland, where he<br />
has made his home. Somewhat after the questioning and irreverent style of<br />
Tom Patey and Geoff Dutton, these stories paint a whimsical, yet at times<br />
profoundly analytical picture of our sport and its practitioners. This hugely<br />
approachable and enjoyable book will be a most welcome addition to our<br />
bookshelves. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.<br />
