Chris Bonington, one of the greatest climbers in the second half of the 20th century, retraces the stories and adventures of a lifetime exploring and climbing mountains all over the world. This is the starting point for a journey that embraces the deepest, most noble, but also contradictory sentiments of this mountaineer and man. His love for his wife and children, his decision to live for and from climbing, his friendships, the conquests but also the pain of the loss of so many friends, become the story of a unique experience and research that never ends, just like all great passions.
