THE BORDERS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

Terray, now in his early forties, is a mountaineer extraordinaire, who cannot ear to petty humbugs of everyday life which impel him to climb virtually impossible lopes. His compulsion to conquer the useless has led him to take on the administrative burden of several large-scale expeditions and he is the only living man who has ed three major climbs to success in the course of one year, in three distinct ranges and on two continents. Now a professional guide, Terray writes well and his title is accurate.
