Frank Smythes mountaineering achievements in the decade before the Second World War became a part of climbing history. His intensive Alpine climbing, followed by two Himalayan expeditions to Kangchenjunga in 1930 and success the following year on Kamet, the highest summit then reached became the prelude to Everest. And in 1933 on that great mountain, climbing alone and without supplementary oxygen he got to within 820 feet of the top, a record height before efforts were resumed post-war and Everest was climbed in 1953. And as a superb Himalayan finale, in 1937 he returned to the Indian Garhwal to climb difficult peaks up to 24,000 feet in a rapid lightweight style. The expeditions were central to his lifetimes work as a writer and photographer 27 books and albums, together with numberless newspaper and magazine articles, intensive lecturing, radio broadcasts and a film. It was an output that made him a celebrity, a rare feat in the days before television and the internet. He had tens of thousands of readers and his name was familiar to perhaps millions of the general public. It was an incredible career, especially since he died at the early age of 48 after a serious illness in India. Frank Smythe was resolute in keeping his home life private, and few details of it emerged in his writings. It was a turbulent life, even from earliest childhood, and remained so, with ambition and impatience almost overwhelming him at times, and eventually this volatile mix, apart from alienating some more traditional members of the Alpine Club, would lead to the break-up of his marriage. Yet when he was among hills he became tranquil and inspired. Some fifty years after his death in 1949 one of his three sons, Tony, decided to write a full account of his fathers life, an extraordinary story he believed was important historically and well worth telling. This book is the result. This book is timely, well researched and written with the authority of a committed climber. The reader will be watching to see just how objective Franks son will be and I can only compliment Tony Smythe on dealing with all the major events in his fathers life in the most even-handed way. I found the quarrel between Smythe and Graham Brown one of the most interesting sections of the book for Tonys description of the climbing is riveting and his analysis of the disagreements masterful. The reader is left gripped The book does not lack humour either, and I found myself smiling, sometimes laughing out loud. Doug Scott Frank could obviously be an awkward bloke, but Im growing fond of him! Hugely impressed, a huge piece of work and very well written. Steve Dean Just received the second part of your magnificent book it makes fine reading All those years of incredible research with interesting findings have paid off I was amazed about the number of accidents and illnesses he suffered in his short life.

All mountaineers develop differently. Some go higher, some try ever-steeper faces and others specialise in a particular range or region. I am increasingly drawn to remoteness - to places where few others have trod. The Wild Within is the third book from Simon Yates, one of Britains most accomplished and daring mountaineers. With his insatiable appetite for adventure and exploratory mountaineering, Yates leads unique expeditions to unclimbed peaks in the Cordillera Darwin in Tierra del Fuego, the Wrangell St-Elias ranges on the Alaskan-kon border, and Eastern Greenland. Laced with dry humour, he relates his own experience of the rapid commercialisation of mountain wilderness, while grappling with his new-found commitments as a family man. At the same time he must endure his role in the film adaptation of Joe Simpsons Touching The Void, having to relive the events of that trip to Peru for an award winning director. Yates subsequent escape to the some of the worlds most remote mountains isnt quite the experience it once was, as he witnesses first hand the advance of modern communications into the wilderness, signalled by the ubiquitous mobile phone masts appearing in once deserted mountain valleys. He is left to dwell on the remaining significance of mountain wilderness and begins a journey to rediscover his own notion of wild.
