WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT THE BUMPER BOOK OF CLIMBING FUN

Good for a laugh...

​Andrew and I would often read the choicest selections to each other as we lay awake in the higher camps. The Bumper Book of Climbing Fun could always be relied upon to lighten one’s mood should a chap start to feel low.


George Mallory

 


Wonderful, irreverent, and hugely entertaining book​... Brilliantly observed... quick-witted genius...


Dave Pickford, Editor, Climb Magazine (Full review on next page)

 

A laugh from start to finish and the perfect companion on an alpine road-trip. My only disappointment was that they didn’t call it the Jumbo Book of Climbing Fun.


Hannibal of Carthage

 

The book, whilst seemingly never serious, is sharp, witty and really hits the nail on the head... All in all - a fun book, humorous and witty...

Jack Geldard - UKC Chief Editor  Full review  HERE)

This certainly had me buzzing! Don’t delay for a second, make a bee-line for it!

Edmund Hilary

 

 

It's a great book ... and had me sitting laughing away. The two authors have done a great job and I can't recommend it highly enough.

A disgrace! They’re taking money for old rope!

Peter Taugwalder

 

 

 

LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FUNNY...registering high on the amusement scale...some really dreadful but funny puns... in the best tradition of British and American climbing magazines.

CLIMBER magazine, January 2014

 

 

It's a cracker!

Albert Mummery

 

 

 

PRETTY FUNNY! The perfect antidote to a standard 'get strong, stay fit' climbing book.

Hazel Findlay

I would not have lasted seven months without it!
 

Heinrich Harrer

I really think you boys should get out more before we have to read Volume 2! (PS - Good reading!)

John Dunne

Conquérants ? Jamais ! Inutile ? Sans aucun doute !
