Not Set in Stone
Vass, David
Before a life-altering accident in 2015, David Vass, one of New Zealand’s pioneering mountaineers, had no reason to think his career as a mountain guide wouldn’t continue ad infinitum. But a broken neck and incomplete tetraplegia put paid to this adventurous life in the great outdoors, forcing him to find new horizons.
In this lyrical memoir, he has found a different way to share this mountain life with others, extolling the joy of a deep connection with nature, and detailing many colourful climbing adventures.
