Robert Bosch, Extreme Photographer

Robert Bosch
One mountaineer goes the heights just to capture some of the most stunning images of nature’s peaks. Robert Bosch, 57, has climbed to the summit of Everest, the icy Alps of Europe and even to the frozen desert wastes of Antarctica in pursuit of adventure and the perfect snap. Working with some of the greats of European mountaineering, Mr Bosch’s vertigo-inducing photography portrays the loneliness and grit that all climbers need to conquer the world’s highest peaks.
He said: "Climbing Mount Everest is relatively straightforward for an experienced climber. I had previously attempted to ascend the notoriously difficult west ridge route but that had defeated me. So in 2001 I succeeded climbing the north face, but I must tell you that to climb Everest up the commercially popular route is easy. Everyone travels to the top and thinks they can write a book about it, but majority of these people are not mountaineers, they are relying on the incredible work of the Sherpas of Nepal."
