Not all the mountains are known for their height. There are mountains
around the world which have become myths, where the mountaineering
history have been written by the most famous climbers. Some of these
mountains are wonderful shapes of the nature, others are celebrated
either for their history or for their sinister reputation, or still
they are a hard challenge for every climber.
Inside these pages you will find a selection - very personal indeed
- of legendary mountains which are not included within the other
pages of the Upwards Travels section. Consider this as an imaginary
trip through the most beautiful mountains of the world, sometimes
almost unknown by most of the people.
