«The Climb» is the sports autobiography of cyclist Chris Froome, published by Viking in hardcover (352 pages, in English).
Chris Froome recounts his journey from childhood in Kenya, where cycling among wild animals and without opportunities was the norm, to winning the 2013 Tour de France. He reflects on his mother's death, a debilitating illness, the rivalry with Bradley Wiggins at Team Sky, and the pressure of Lance Armstrong's legacy.
Born in Nairobi in 1985 and educated in South Africa, Froome was second in the 2011 Vuelta a España and the 2012 Tour, and took bronze in the time trial at the 2012 Olympic Games.
For cycling fans, Tour de France followers, and readers of sports comeback biographies.
