Book description
Bonnington probably could never imagine his life and career after this book. He was able to become a professional adventurer in a Cold War era when that was unheard. He probably could never had imagined that he would have done as many expeditions, written so many books, and also lost so many of his friends over his life time.This is an autobiographical text written when he was a successful young climber about his early decisions on life and career. They include his (and his friends) decisions to not stay in the military, get married, and most of the typical adult decisions (get a home) and then the less typical decisions to make a career in the media and adventure.The time context was critical back then: the Cold War was on (he was not the only author to try to make a career as a writer, he just did it earlier than most). A person could be easily criticized in England most of this took place in the decade just following WWII. United Kingdom (one has to include Scotland) and Alpine geography may be confusing.Perhaps the closest equivalent book is Lionel Terray with his book Conquistadors of the Useless or better in the French Les Conquérants De Linutile (really, the English translation is a little flawed). The key word which separates AND links Terray to Bonington is Annapurna. Terray would climb (but not summit) and inspire Bonnington just over a decade later to write Chose. AND almost a decade after Chose, Bonington would re-jump-start a new generation of Himalayan climbing with his own expedition and book on Annapurna South Face: The Classic Account of Survival. But this is getting ahead of myself.Terray had the advantage of being able to become a professional mountain guide. This is much harder for Bonington. Terray had the Alps nearby. Bonington had London. Boningtion might be easier to related to for urban raised 21st century readers looking to find themselves.Annapurna and Annapurna South Face deserve to be read chronologically together. The first opened up high altitude climbing exploration (proved it was possible) and the second brought us more up to date (both in a successful way but also in the sad nostalgic way (Are there no more worlds to conquer? in a Sheridan Anderson climbing cartoon)).I wont spoil a prospective reader of I Chose to Climb by summarizing it (that was also too long ago). I gave some of the gist above. Ive also now been to some of the sites of Boningtons climbs both in the UK and the Alps. The audience of this book is outdoorish with a tinge of what other urban people would call insanity. This book is the precursor to understanding many of Boningtons subsequent books. This is not a book for every one.I Chose is not a How-to book and it has minimal explanation of climbing terminology. Its not about the how-tos.I Chose is a compelling title and this is a very good climbing book (noted on David Roberts Ascent book reviews list of best reads back in the 20th century). Not quite as good as Terray. As climbing books go, one has to be careful with Boningtons picture of climbing. Other non-English speaking people were doing incredible things during the same time period, most notably Reinhold Messner (only about 20% of his books have been translated (poorly unfortunately, too {better in time}) into English).This book was one of my latter references in a high school paper of over 120 pages I wrote for a high school history class (hence the approximate completing it). I chose not to reread it as Id chose of my climbs now.
