This captivating work sheds light on the often overlooked heroes of mountaineering - the local climbers who have played a vital role in conquering the world's tallest peaks.

Alpine Rising not only celebrates the achievements of local climbers in the past but also highlights the incredible feats being accomplished by climbers today.
