My Life: Eiger North Face, Grandes Jorasses, and Other Adventures

Anderl Heckmair will be remembered for his first ascent of the Eiger North Face. Famed as both a fanatical mountaineer and a refuted Nazi sympathizer. In My Life, which details a sordid childhood and transforming mountaineering ambition, it is possible to glimpse an intense and often tragic world of politics, and a true love of the mountains.
