Dave A 18 Feb 8:27pm, 18 Feb 2025 24,525 posts	Quote Pin Dave A My approach is working slowly, as long as my set diagnosis is correct. It could be a long, slow recovery though. Hope yours sorts itself out.
Dave A 26 Feb 12:05pm, 26 Feb 2025 24,530 posts	Quote Pin Dave A Wild anyone like to recommend me some climbing or mountaineering books to read? I’ve been paid and World Of Books are doing 4 for 3. I usually like the climb, fall, someone dies, someone survives type true stories. But anything non-fiction would be good.

And given my record of book recommendations, I may be the only person who likes it. Solid, pre-war writing, actually written in secret on toilet paper in a POW camp.

LindsD 26 Feb 2:37pm, 26 Feb 2025 72,845 posts	Quote Pin LindsD Hm. Not sure. Probably the same sprt of true stories you describe. Or an engaging memoir or how-to. I've just remembered reading a book on climbing that was really a book about friendship amongst men. Semi-autobio I think. Can't bloody remember the author. Will try.
