Description
Days of granite and ice is a deep dive into the history of mountaineering on Mont Blanc, a tale that begins with the conquest of the summit in 1786 and reaches to the present day, narrating the feats of the men who have written their names on its walls. This book does not merely celebrate victories but explores the soul of mountaineering through the fears, hopes, friendships, and tragedies of pioneers like Whymper and Rey, champions like Cassin and Gervasutti, and heroes like Bonatti and Desmaison. It is an epic chronicle that unfolds among the sharp ridges and threatening seracs of the "King of the Alps", revealing the ongoing quest for the "last problems" and the unwavering passion that has driven generations of climbers to challenge the giants of granite and ice.
