On Thin Ice: Alpine Climbs in the Americas, Asia and the Himalaya

This is the second volume of Mick’s memoirs. Here he records his alpine climbs since 1990, including Taweche (1995), Changabang (1997), Arwa Tower (1999), Mount Kennedy (2000), and Siguniang (2002). The two-person ascent of Siguniang (China) was so admired by the international climbing community that it won the US ‘Golden Piton’ and the French ‘Piolet d’Or’ for the finest alpine achievement in the world during that year. Mick has been called ‘The Mountaineers’ Mountaineer’ and his latest book is sure to please.
