New for May 2008

Thin White Line is the sequel to Learning to Breathe, Andy Cave’s bestselling debut and winner of both the Boardman Tasker Prize and the Adventure Travel Award at the Banff International Festival. The narrative is set in Patagonia, Norway and Alaska, tackling some of the severest challenges that modern alpinism can pose - he describes the colourful characters that populate his story, both past and present, and vividly recreates the joy and despair of climbing, carefully building the book to a desperate finale.
