Helen Mort

Gebundenes Buch

A Line Above the Sky

On Mountains and Motherhood

Beschreibung

Climbing gives you the illusion of being in control, just for a while, the tantalising sense of being able to stay one move ahead of death. Helen Mort has always been drawn to the thrill and risk of climbing: the tension between human and rockface, and the climber's powerful connection to the elemental world.
