About The Author

Dave Wynne-Jones is one of just 25 (at the last count) British climbers who have climbed all 52 of the independent 4000m mountains of the Alps in the 200-year history of Mountaineering. He’s taken part in 27 expeditions, leading 20 of them and making 30 first ascents of unclimbed summits or new routes, including pioneering work on ski expeditions.

He’d published numerous articles, stories and photos in magazines and journals before his two books 4000m Climbing the Highest Mountains of the Alps, 2016, and An Expedition Handbook, 2023 were published by Whittles. The Way Taken, a Taoist poetry pamphlet, based on his first expedition to China, was published by Delfryn in 2022. He now does all his alpinism on ski and still climbs regularly, whilst continuing to write about mountaineering, although his poetry, which he enjoys performing, covers a range of subjects and is widely published in magazines and anthologies.
