Tales.

Tales are fiction and nonfiction stories that will change every two months. Their purpose is to entertain and teach. Much of the inspirational power of climbing can be traced to its rich tradition of storytelling. From Whymper's Scrambles Amongst The Alps to Twight's Kiss or Kill, around every campfire, in every climber's pub, each generation of young mountaineers is energized and inspired by reading or hearing about the exploits of those that came before.

Alpine Mentoring wants to continue that tradition and help you consider some tenants we feel are integral to the passion of alpinism through the medium of the tale.
