Have read quite a few climbing books in my time, from the sublime to the outrageous, and for a while they all tended to get a bit "samey" so I stopped.
Recently bought a copy of Crazy Sorrow: The Life and Death of Alan Mullin - my goodness, this is most unlike any climbing book / biography of a climber.
Yes, Alan was a controversial climber, at the time, although, looking back, perhaps more so than he should have been.
I've not yet finished the book, so not got onto what happened once he stopped climbing - but what a book so far - well done to the author (he posts on here), and all the contributors.
Anyway, once I finish this I may start looking at climbing books once again - any recommendations?
