| Publisher Description: Feeding the Rat is the story of an extraordinary man: climbing legend Mo Anthoine, who found his greatest joy in adventures that tested the limits of human endurance. That passion for feeding the rat made him the unsung hero of dozens of horrifying epics in the mountains, including the famous Ogre expedition that almost killed Doug Scott and Sir Chris Bonington. The book is also the story of the extraordinary friendship between Mo Anthoine and A. Alvarez -- the distinguished poet, journalist, and critic -- whose deeply moving portrait of his longtime climbing partner is a classic of adventure literature. |
