About the Author

Allan has been passionate about mountains and photography since his early teens. He has climbed extensively throughout the Alps, discovering Austria by chance during the early 1970s while trying to avoid atrocious weather conditions in the higher mountains of the Western Alps. Allan maintains that Austria and the Dolomites of neighbouring Italy remain one of mountaineering’s best kept secrets with their heady mix of superb scenery, good huts and excellent food and are better suited to the average mountaineer than the higher mountains to the west.

In addition to Austria and the Alps, Allan has climbed from East Africa to the Falkland Islands, the Greater Ranges of Nepal and Pakistan, the lesser known Zagros Mountains of Iran and the Al Hajr Mountains of the Arabian Peninsula.

Not surprisingly Allan is a long-term member of the Austrian Alpine Club, Sektion Britannia. Allan is also a member of the Outdoor Writers and Photographers Guild, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and a holder of the International Mountain Leader Award. His home is on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. For more about Allan see www.allanhartley.co.uk.
