(1243)Tibet's Secret Mountain by Chris Bonington; Charles Clark

It is amazing that the mountaineering bug would bite a person until he would climb mountains into his sixties.

To me, it is like the bug for reading. Once a person loves to read, he or she may read until well into old age. It is eye-opening to read about an outsider's view of China throughout the years of travel and climbing mountains. Tibet, to many of us armchair persons, is a cold and quaint land. It is fascinating to read about it, but I seriously doubt if I would ever travel there even if I have both the budget and the leisure.
