About the Author:
Review:
Jeff Connor is a retired rugby player at both codes of union and league, as well as a former champion professional hill runner, a skier, and a five-days-a-week gym addict. He is the rugby correspondent for Scotland's leading Sunday newspaper, Scotland on Sunday. His previous books include Wide Eyed and Legless: Inside the Tour de France and Creagh Dhu Climber (shortlisted for the Boardman/Tasker and Banff Mountain Festival prizes for mountain literature in 1999/2000).
It's a fascinating book about a fascinating man, and is certainly the book on Haston. If you have even a passing interest in Haston or the British climbing/mountaineering scene from the 50's to the 70's, of which Haston was undoubtedly one of the biggest characters, this book is worth every penny * * Customer review, Amazon.co.uk * * This biography does not pull any punches. Great for the armchair climber * * Customer review, Amazon.co.uk * *
