Mountaineering Holiday
ORIAN SAKER’S series of talks, Mountaineering Holiday, revealed him as the possessor of a good microphone technique, His voice is quiet and pleasant, his manner intimate yet not familiar, and his tone suggests enthusiasm without the heartiness so jarring to the early morning listener. Mr. Saker must have felt some
incongruity in recalling his experiences with nature in her ruder aspects in a man-made studio whose sound-proof and windowless walls are deliberately built to exclude nature, but he seems as much at home in a
studio as on 4a shingle slide. But surely 10.25 a.m, is an odd time to choose for these talks? Then the only listeners are the retired, the sick, and the indolent-stony ground if Mr. Saker has any proselytising purpose, and the pukka climber in embryo is at this time at desk or workbench earning the money to buy his ice-axe, crampons, scroggin, and other items Mr. Saker lists as necessary to the Compleat Climber. :
