Examining the fascination to be found in climbing to ever-higher altitudes, Daniel Light surveys the early history of mountaineering, describing expeditions including the attempt to scale Popocatépetl in 1519 and the race to conquer the Matterhorn in 1865. Concluding with the 1921 reconnaissance of Everest, which claimed the life of Alec Kellas, he reveals the determination and dangers involved in the pursuit.
