About the book
As he approaches middle age with creaking joints and fading fitness, Joly decides that walking uphill is vastly overrated and sets out to explore some of the world's most spectacular descents instead. From volcanic slopes to Alpine paths, this is an hilarious account of one man's quest to redefine hiking on his own terms. Joly's sharp observations and comic misadventures transform what could be a simple travelogue into something far more entertaining. It's a refreshingly honest take on outdoor pursuits that will resonate with anyone who loves the countryside but isn't quite ready to conquer Everest.
