Description: "Snatched from life on an expedition to the Pamirs in 1962, Robin Smith was one of the most daring and legendary climbers ever to have tackled a mountain. And he was just twenty-three." "He was a friend and inspiration to many climbers worldwide, including fellow Scot Dougal Haston, and this biography draws on contributions from those who knew this charismatic and complex young man, as well as diary extracts from Smith himself."--BOOK JACKET.
