Some of the best experiences come from undertaking something you may have never considered doing before; Kev Reynolds will be the first one to tell you that.
A Walk in the Clouds: 50 Years Among the Mountains is a heartwarming, inspirational, and evocative collection of memories and short stories from the half-century Reynolds spent roaming the mountains. It was during this time that he learned some of his favorite and most memorable lessons through the people he met and the experiences he shared.
To shadow Reynolds across the Moroccan Atlas, the Pyrenees Trails, the European Alps, and even the Himalayas, is engaging for hikers and non-hikers alike as he describes every detail of his adventures in hopes of motivating others.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Famed British climber and author of dozens of climbing and trekking guidebooks Reynolds reminiscences about a life spent roaming the world's great mountain ranges in this compilation of excursion stories. Unlike a guide or an expedition journal that chronicles a particular ascent, this volume encapsulates the feel and the mood of adventure. Gleaned from various journals and articles spanning his entire career, Reynold's vignettes provide unique and intimate snapshots of sunrises from mountaintops, scrambles up scree-covered slopes and through mountain mist, crossing dangerous mountain glaciers, riding out mountaintop storms, and sharing tea with shepherds in remote valleys. The sort of volume that can be picked up and enjoyed randomly here and there in a spare moment, each of Reynold's memories vividly transports the reader to the world's high places. These charming anecdotes shared from a driven life will inspire trekkers and climbers while satisfying armchair explorers as well.
