Over the Hill: A String of Mountain Matters

Wilson’s book is a thoughtful and witty collection of essays on a whole range of subjects to do with mountains, from the naming of rock climbs to the Ordnance Survey, from C F Holland to the mountaineer‘s responsibility to the environment. It contains all the qualities of originality, wisdom and irreverence which make his earlier books such a good read. Enjoy his take on climbing, the old licensing laws, maps, the environment, and more.
