The Naked Mountaineer recounts a series of solo journeys to some of the world s most exotic peaks in places such as Switzerland, Japan, and Borneo.

His real adventures involved peculiar people, strange foods, and tropical diseases, rather than pitons, ice axes, and carabiners. On the Matterhorn he met an English alpinist who reveled in naked selfies, he...
