- Book Synopsis
- ALPENGLOW takes the reader through a journey of personal adventure, immersive art and breathtaking scenery, combining inspiration with detailed local knowledge. Climbing the 4000m peaks of the Alps is one of the great and enduring challenges in mountaineering. It is a project that requires endurance, courage, skill, and humility. Whether you are a lover of mountain landscapes, an aspiring alpinist, or already a veteran of many adventures, this book will provide a wealth of original and inspiring material to help with planning future excursions or simply immersing yourself in the beauty of the high mountains. After nearly a decade of climbing to reach all 82 alpine summits over 4000m, Ben Tibbetts sets out his selection of the most compelling routes in the Alps. He describes his journey on each ascent through a series of stirring adventures, into which are woven threads of historical ascents from the earliest days of alpine climbing to its present day.
