  If you want to read about Chris Bonnington's exploits look under the 'B' section in this book. Where are the Changabang Mountains; how does a mountaineer cope with dehydration; how does the process of erosion affect mountains and how does frosbite affect the mountaineer? - the answers to all these questions are also included. Read about the animals, plant life, the native people, the weather, the history, the myths and the mountains themselves, including the Himalaya, Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro, Everest, Ben Nevis - as well as some not so famous ones including the Lemon Mountains and the Ogre.
