30 CLIMBERS’ DESTINIES

“30 Destins d’alpinistes” | Jessica Jeffries-Britten & Emmanuelle Halgand | Paulsen Jeunesse | 136pp | 19 x 25 cm

For girls and boys who dream of climbing mountains.

From Henriette d’Angeville, the first mountaineer to reach the summit of Mont Blanc, to Kilian Jornet who runs the mountains with the lightness of a butterfly, or Sarah Cartier, the caretaker of a tiny, century-old refuge perched at an altitude of 2,841 metres at the foot of Les Drus, they are some of the astonishing personalities who cross the pages of this book aimed at readers who like to lose themselves beyond the vertical. Climbers, himalayists, expedition leaders, high mountain guides, mountain rescuers, shepherds, crystal-makers, glaciologists, film-makers and painters, they all share an exceptional career path, often born in the fiery hours of childhood. 30 portraits, 30 stories, each one a dream come true.
