Extreme Mountain Climbing


Clinging on: Climber Pesche Wuthrich swings for another handhold in the Alps on the border between Italy and Switzerland


Perilous: This image shows Swiss mountaineer Ueli Steck ice-climbing near Pontresina, Switzerland


Balancing act: Two climbers perch on top of Salbitnadel in Uri, Switzerland, in another of Mr Bosch's stunning images


Perspective: Mr Bosch has spent nearly 40 years climbing the Earth's highest peaks to get his images
Give me a leg up: Climbers half way up the artificial wall on the Diga di Luzzone in Tessin


Staying cool: Ueli Steck ice axes in hand as he climbs near Oeschinen in Bern, Switzerland


Don't look down: Annatina Schultz makes her way up The Fall on Klettern in Meringen, Switzerland


Eyes on the prize: Mr Bosch stands suspended at a 90 degree angle on the artificial wall in Tessin, Switzerland

Nearly there: This close up was taken near the summit of the wall as Mr Bosch was suspended over the drop


Bleak: The photographer counts Cerro Torre, in Patagonia, Argentina, as one of the toughest to climb


Scaling new heights: This image shows ice-climbing on the Godwin Austen Glacier in Pakistan with K2 in the background
