<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An ascent of Mont Blanc with his uncle leaves young Pierre further convinced he wants to be a mountaineer. But his family have other ideas. Then tragedy strikes as a brutal storm leaves sadness and destruction in its wake. Equip yourself for an immersive experience in the high Alps in Roger Frison-Roche's acclaimed First on the Rope.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>First on the Rope</em> - the acclaimed English translation of the French fiction classic <em>Premier de Cordée</em> by <strong>Roger Frison-Roche</strong> - is a tale about the harsh lives of mountain guides and their families in the <strong>French Alps</strong> in the 1920s and 1930s.</p><p>An ascent of <strong>Mont Blanc</strong> as porter with his uncle leaves young Pierre further convinced he wants to be a mountaineer, breathing the crisp, pure air and soaking up the splendour of the wild landscape. But his family have other ideas. <strong>Chamonix</strong> is becoming ever more popular with tourists wanting their thrills on the slopes, and they all need somewhere to stay. Running a hotel, however, is not Pierre's idea of fulfilment.</p><p>Among the glittering peaks and desolate passes, wonderful sunsets and wild winds, tragedy strikes across the <strong>Vallée Blanche</strong> on the Dru: a brutal storm leaves sadness and destruction in its wake. Can the onset of spring and the hope it brings rebuild Pierre's passion for climbing?</p><p><em>First on the Rope</em> epitomises the rhythm of mountain life, the clanking cowbells and the gurgling streams set against the formidable grandeur of the ice and rock. Equip yourself for an immersive and emotive experience in the high Alps.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'This is the definitive climbing novel; immersive, emotive and sometimes savage.' (Chris Bonington)</p><br>
