2007-03-20 A Short walk with patey

I came to read this book through a recommendation from my dad, an what a joy it turned out to be. As a young aspiring climber you want to try and learn all you can about the sport, and nothing can explain this than Patey's descriptions of climbing equipment and technique. This book has you laughing and inspired from the first page, "A short walk with Whillians" being one of the best. Two of the most well know climbers of the 60's walking to gether, a real insight of them both. A genuine book that can only be matched for wit by Muriel Gray's "The first fifty"
