About this book

Feeding the Rat: Profile of a Climber by Alfred Alvarez. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780871133076.

What really drives climbers to relish the exhausting, uncomfortable, often dangerous challenge posed by an uphill trek is what Anthoine calls feeding the rat--need to get out, to flush out the system, to court discomfort, and to prevail.
