All the guys mentioned above talk about Bonatti as a god and I really dont know much about him. Would like to learn more.

Thanks for the link and quotes. Great pic Chief...

Though I have that book and I still haven't read it, I think that's one of his best readings:

I am looking forward to reading Bonatti's "The Mountains of My Life".
The more I hear about him, the more amazing he sounds.
