One Mans Legacy: Tom Patey SMP

One Man's Legacy chronicles the life of Scottish mountaineering prodigy Tom Patey. Not just a climber, but also a musician, writer and doctor, Patey was one of Britain's most notorious mountaineers of the 50s and 60s, conquering several notable ascents all the while jotting down drinking songs which captured the climbing characters of the era. This chunky hardback book tells the story behind the man-and even if you've never heard of him before, it's a vital document of climbing in the middle of the 20th century.
