- Abstract
- The weather looked perfect when Jamie Andrew and his closest friend, Jamie Fisher set off to climb the formidable North Face of Les Droites in the French Alps in 1999. But a sudden and ferocious storm hit them 10,000 feet up the mountain. They were trapped on a narrow ridge in temperatures of -30C, battered by winds so strong the rescue helicopters could not reach them. After five nightmarish nights doggedly clinging to life, Jamie Andrew was finally rescued; but his friend Jamie Fisher had died beside him on the last night. -- From inside cover

- Abstract
- Written by AAC Honorary President William L Putnam, "this text is devoted to that pair of passes: the Mont Cenis and the Great Saint Bernard. Both of these mountain crossings appear to have been known and used from pre-Roman times. Both were prominently and frequently used by the Romans inestablishing and maintaining their empire; both were long adorned with hospice/shelters near their crests; and both have been by-passed by modern tunnels but are still crossed by paved highways. Despite these similiarites, their historic prominence derives from distinctly different events and factors. Herein lies the histories of these passes and stories of many travelers amongst the Alps - told as much as possible in their own words." ( from book jacket)
