David Roberts

David Roberts, who died on August 20, began his lifelong cost/benefit analysis of alpinism in his first book—written in nine days—the all-time classic The Mountain of My Fear.

Few climbers were as prolific in and out of the mountains as Roberts and he leaves behind a masterclass body of work.
