Bonington started climbing at age 16 and has been on expeditions to the Alps, Himalayas and Everest. The competition, thrill and sense of achievement is what has kept him at it . "It is the driving force in my life," he said. Bonington has been ice climbing and skiing in Utah for the past three days and is envious of the fantastic rocks and slopes that we have in our own backyard. move from doing to becoming by making an appraisal of yourself and your purpose.
