Mountaineering literature
|

Hi.
I'm interested if you read anything on the topic of mountaineering and alpinism, and if you have any suggestion for a good book from this field?
I like literature that isn't strictly technical, but also describes experiences, sensations, feelings... it could be said that it's poetic mountaineering . I liked e.g. Pot (Nejc Zaplotnik), Biseri pod snegom and Zvezdnate noči (Dušan Jelinčič), Ni nemogočih poti (Tomaž Humar), Tomaž Humar (Bernadette McDonald)...
Thanks for the ideas .

And another legendary "Trije zadnji problemi alp"

I personally recommend both latest books by Bernadette McDonald- the already mentioned Alpine Warriors
and Freedom Climbers.
By the way, does anyone have the book Rafko Dolhar: Poti IZ planin (1974)? I've been looking for it for a long time.

Oops, how could I forget this one...
Edo Deržaj - Gruh. Eternally relevant classic 
Interesting is also this one: dr. Klement Jug - Stena in smrt. Maybe not exactly poetic, but definitely worth reading. The author's thinking is at times simply stunning

Thanks Palček plezalček. I've been searching for it for a long time for my personal collection of mountaineering literature, so I'd like to buy it..

It's not a direct answer to the question posed, but I hope sufficiently indirect, maybe useful for someone else, seeing that you are enthusiastic readers here (among whom I count myself).
I was fiddling with Cobiss and compiled a list of books about the Himalayas, in Slovenian. I know most of them anyway, but stumbled upon quite a few interesting surprises. Links are to Cobiss stock in Ljubljana City Library, since that's where I go. Sorry to all enrolled in other libraries...
