		Bonington, an accomplished mountain climber, presents 17 stories of the most remarkable expeditions of the past 100 years, giving factual accounts of what it was like to be "the first" to cross the polar wastes, fly solo around the world, brave uncharted waters, and reach the peaks of treacherous mountains.

	Everest - Mount Everest by climbers, news
		Yesterday, Pete focused on Chris Bonington's biography, from the influence of his adventureous ancestors, to a frustrated military career as a tank commander, and his inevitable discovery of mountaineering.
		Chris really wanted the first ascent of this Cheddar Gorge classic, after realizing a first ascent was there for the taking in Britain's most dramatic gorge (to use his own words).
		Chris led up the snow-covered holds, and faced with two overhangs, was relieved to discover that by bridging and jamming they went free (today these moves are in the 4a/4b or 5.7 range).

		In 1961, Chris climbed Nuptse with Jim Swallow and later that year he scaled off the Central Pillar of Frêney, a climb that today is regarded as one of the great classics in the Alps.
		Chris suited perfectly in the role as the leader, he had the background from his military, yet he was very humble and a great leader.
		Chris had now realized that no matter if he was losing climbing friends all the time in the mountains, his passion for climbing mountains would remain constant.

	Tibet's Secret Mountain: The Triump of Sepu Kangri:Bonington, Chris; Clarke, Charles:0297819844:eCampus.com
		In the last decade of the 20th century, it is almost unbelievable that a mountain range of length comparable to the entire Nepal Himalaya should still remain a vague notion to geographers and exploratory mountaineers.
		Yet such was the mountain range in Tibet that Chris Bonington and Dr. Charles Clarke first explored in 1997 and again in 1998 (its highest peak, Sepu Kangri, is 22,802 feet).
		Set against this other-worldly backdrop is the poignancy of the 62-year-old Bonington feeling his age and the camaraderie and tension among the expedition's team, especially as they come within 200 meters of the summit of Sepu Kangri.
