On Thin Ice

Mick Fowler – Britain`s most successful exponent of lightweight mountaineering in the greater ranges describes his international climbs – an important book recording several historic ascents. Climbs include Aksu in Kirgistan, Taweche in Nepal, Changabang in India, Arwa Tower in India, Mount Kennedy in Alaska and Siguniang in China – the latter received international acclaim and was awarded the American “Golden Piton” and the French “Piolet d`Or”.
