The aptly named Sandy Hill, also a world-class mountaineer and who has a singular knowledge, understanding, and experience of the world's highest places, has traversed the jutting world to produce this spectacular collection of alpine photography. An inspiring collection of evocative images collected by a lifelong mountaineer about his experiences of the world's highest places. Powerful, beautiful, wild, sublime, and forbidding, the world's summits are often considered the last real frontier. Mountain is a luxuriously illustrated celebration of mountains and of the experiences man has had with them.
Here are the jagged peaks of the mighty Himalayas, panoramas of the Rockies, a skier on Alberta's Mount Norquay, glaciers and many, many shots of climbers doing their thing. Majestic, inspiring, and with a powerful sense of aloneness.
