A book about the birth of "harsh and merciless" Soviet mountaineering, which gave us legendary athletes and a strong school. And also about how it is developing in our time.
Mountains occupy forty percent of the entire earth's land. They are very different from each other: the dwarf Australian and Carpathian, the ancient Ural and Sayan, the inhabited Alps and the Caucasus, the formidable and majestic Himalayas, Hindu Kush and Karakorum. This is the natural habitat of man. Strong and brave people have always climbed mountain peaks. From the height of a mountain or mountain pass, you can see the surrounding ridges, valleys, river sources, high-mountain lakes and the expanses surrounding them. You can choose your path, move from valley to valley, find a comfortable place to live and, in the end, just escape pursuit.
Mountaineering has become a social phenomenon, where sport unites nature and the best qualities of man. Openness, a sense of camaraderie and mutual assistance became his calling card.
This is a book about the history of mountain climbing, about the development of mountaineering in our country, about its continuity.
