Mountain Views A lifetime’s enjoyment: Rupert Hoare. "Mountain Views” is a delightful book to appeal to everyone with an interest in mountains. It is not the tale of an epic first ascent or a major expedition; it is the simple story of the climbs, over many years, of a keen proficient amateur mountaineer, Rupert Hoare. It is beautifully illustrated by his own photographs. As he says “it is my way of trying to capture and share some of the beauty I find in mountains”.
