A Climbing Life, a memoir by Armando Corvini, is a remarkable story starting in Trieste in Italy to the present day in Canberra. Along the way, Armando suffered severe frostbite in the Himalayas in a mountaineering accident and faced a steep and painful recovery. Yet today, at the age of 85, he continues to teach others how to climb, abseil and go caving. A Climbing Life is a story about perseverance and an endless love for the mountains. Armando's story is inspiring as he never gave up even after the terrible loss of his fingers and toes. Now in his 85th year, he tells the story of his remarkable life in his book 'A Climbing Life'.
