Killing Dragons: The Conquest of the Alps

Rating:
Summary: How to make climbing boring!
Review: What a disappointment. This book is full of in-depth biographies of explorers who weren't that exciting, although they did some exciting things. One or two bios might be okay, as long as lots of other stories about climbing in the Alps are thrown in. But how about a zillion bios? One after the other. I put it down about 2/3 of the way through and was thinking of reading another of Fleming's books; now I've decided not to.

And don't expect any good scenery photos...it's full of a bunch of guys in Victorian dress. Again: BORING!
