English schoolmaster, writer, and mountaineer Robert Lock Graham Irving (1877 - 1969) was an early advocate of climbing without being led by guides; companions (whom Irving readily recruited) not excluded. He has said: "If you climb for novelty and excitement solitary climbing is the kind to satisfy you; but if you climb for recreation of mind and body it is a failure", and, being led generate both boredom and expense, This volume was written on the eve of 1934 after 4 completed expeditions (1921, 1922, 1924, and 1933). 320 pgs, 15 chapters in 3 parts: I, Birth & Early Years; II, Signs of Maturity; and III, Perpetual Youth.
