It is a book about the men who have claimed these lofty peaks, who dared the wrath of the dragon and who faced tragedy and high drama with clear eyes. It tells of the selfless courage and determination of the men who put life and limb in jeopardy in the rescue of comrades trapped and injured on impossible mountain ledges. It tells also of the history of mountain rescue work in the Drakensberg." .
