By Ross Cullen with Pip Lynch

The remarkable story of Bill McLeod, legendary New Zealand mountaineer.

Bill McLeod did not start mountaineering until he was thirty, when he moved to New Zealand in 1978. With an instinct for adventure and a fierce determination he taught himself to climb, and over the next 25 years became one of this country’s finest alpinists.

Drawn from the letters he wrote to fellow climbers, Bill McLeod: Mountaineering Legend traces Bill’s remarkable journey from self-taught novice to tackling the hardest ascents in Aotearoa.
