No climber, explorer, adventurer (call him what you will) could fail to be fascinated and absorbed by Rolfe Oostra’s 52 individual and captivating ‘stories’ in this semi auto-biography. Put simply, his philosophy on climbing and exploring while facing (too often) real and imminent danger followed by a possible death, is seminal.
Rolfe Oostra, Dutch born, Australian bred, holds every qualification in the climbing world and is a Berghaus and Stubai sponsored athlete in addition to being a SCUBA instructor. He led his first expedition, aged 20, up Mt Kenya’s North Face and never looked back.
