They were young and wild and had no time for anything - except climbing. Much later, one or another writes down what they experienced: this is what this book is about. A collection of true stories, as incredible as they may sometimes sound, that not only deal with fragile holds, enormous overhangs, and vertical adventures, but also with the unconventional lives these "wild dogs" led. As extraordinary as the - sometimes unbelievably quirky - stories are, so is the original, wonderfully relaxed narrative style of these still wild dogs. This guarantees pure reading pleasure even for a non-climber - and an elevated adrenaline level as well. Finally, a piece of mountain fiction again - a book that is truly worth reading. One that will keep some readers up all night until the last page.
