“I was aware that I was cold – beyond cold. I was a lump of meat left for too long in a freezer, a body trapped beneath the ice, sinking down into the dark.
“I was freezing to death.”
In this brilliant sequel to his award-winning debut Psychovertical, mountaineering stand-up Andy Kirkpatrick has achieved his life’s ambition to become one of the world’s leading climbers. Pushing himself to new extremes, he embarks on his toughest climbs yet – on big walls in the Alps and Patagonia – in the depths of winter.
Kirkpatrick has more success, but the savagery and danger of these encounters comes at huge personal cost. Questioning his commitment to his chosen craft, Kirkpatrick is torn between family life and
the dangerous path he has chosen. Written with his trademark
wit and honesty, Cold Wars is a gripping account
of modern adventure.
“The portrayal of Kirkpatrick’s developing insight into his motivation and his growing realisation of the importance of life outside climbing make this a climbing autobiography
on a par with Steve House’s Beyond the Mountain.’
