My Mountain Rescue

From the pavements and gutters of Glasgow to shimmering Alpine peaks, My Mountain Rescue is the moving story of one man’s triumph over despair and his relentless climb towards success, love and happiness. Graeme Wilson takes us on a journey from the Ochil Hills to the high peaks of the Alps, remembering each step of the way, through mountains and what they meant to him. Sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes exhilarating, this is one man’s journey through real life and all it throws at you.
If you love mountains and wild places you’ll love this story, where mountains bring hope to the most hopeless. If you know nothing of mountains this story will lift your heart, exposing the very essence of the human spirit.
Graeme has climbed all of the great mountains in Scotland for over fifty years. It started with Munros but soon moved on to the mighty ridges of Ben Nevis and the Cuillin in Skye. Winter days were short but hard and the great classic routes came into view - SC Gully, Tower Ridge, Crowberry Gully. And then the Alps, where it took three years to finally reach the Dufourspitze summit and to realise a dream.
