Dougal Haston was one of the most charismatic and daring figures in the history of mountaineering, combining the lifestyle of a rock star with a career at the cutting edge of world climbing. In Dougal Haston: The Philosophy of Risk, Jeff Connor traces Haston’s journey from his native Scottish hills to his astonishing feats on Everest and other great mountains. Drawing on previously unpublished diaries and documents, Connor explores not just the climbs themselves but the inner life of a man driven to confront danger again and again, offering insight into what motivates climbers to risk their lives high above the world.
