A perennially popular mountaineering anthology from both sides of the Atlantic, showcasing the finest essays written on mountaineering and a plethora of more light-hearted and humorous items. From an Amazon reader review: `The Games Climbers Play' is simply the largest and best climbing anthology I have ever read so far. Wilson draws material from climbing periodicals like Climbing, Ascent, Scottish Mountaineering and other obscure magazines. Originally published in 1980, the articles were mostly written in the 60's and 70's. Most of the articles are the best works from British climbing clubs and magazines that the American climber doesn't have easy access to. The topics include everything from sport climbing to expedition climbing. I found every single article entertaining and that is saying a lot considering there are over one hundred articles included.
