Climbing Days

In Climbing Days, Dan Richards is on the trail of his great-great-aunt, Dorothy Pilley, a prominent and pioneering mountaineer of the early twentieth century. Climbing Days is a beautiful portrait of a trailblazing woman, previously lost to history, but also a book about that eternal question: why do people climb mountains?

In Climbing Days, Dan Richards este pe urmele stra-stra-matusii sale, Dorothy Pilley, un proeminent si pionier alpinist de la inceputul secolului al XX-lea. Zile de alpinism este un portret frumos al unei femei inovatoare, pierduta anterior de istorie, dar si o carte despre acea vesnica intrebare: de ce urca oamenii muntii?
