About this title

Synopsis:

Dennis Gray has pursued the climbing life with astonishing single-mindedness, and he has shown equal enthusiasm for boisterous humour. From his early teens until his forties he shared ropes with the foremost climbers of the day - Arthur Dolphin, Tom Patey, Don Whillans, Joe Brown - and all have contributed to his fund of often hilarious and sometimes scary epics. 'Tight Rope' overflows with tales of hard climbers finding fun both in and out of the mountains.

Store Description

Established in 2001, Arapiles Mountain Books is the only specialist mountaineering bookseller in Australia. We carry a large stock of fine, rare and out of print mountaineering and adventurous travel books, with a particular emphasis on British, Australian, New Zealand and Himalayan climbing narratives and guides. We have an especially wide selection of early - mid 20th travel books in dustwrapper, signed books and expedition memorabilia. On-line catalogues can be browsed on this website. The proprietor, Andrew Long, has climbed the world over since 1980, and has spent much of his time over the (last few) years, collecting and reading climbing and travel narratives by more intrepid writers. He will be happy to answer any queries or provide advice on condition, approximate value, rarity or just plain readability free of charge. A booksearch service is available. Although we are a mail order store, visitors are most welcome to browse our stock by making an appointment. I have a bricks and mortar bookshop in Central Victoria ('Mount of Alex', 273 Barker Street, Castlemaine), which is currently pen by appointment only. Appointments to view the stock may be made by calling Andrew on +61 410 650 923 or by email to araps@alassoc.com.au.
