Chil is a courageous and loyal chinchilla living in the highlands of South America. His best friend, Vizzy, is a strong-willed and energetic long-eared vizcacha. One day after a wise condor tells Chil that there are many wonderful things to see outside his home, he and Vizzy decide to leave their mountain friends and travel to the valley floor to explore a new and exciting world. As Chil and Vizzy set out on their quest, they venture into a mostly unknown landscape full of unfamiliar animals such as culpeos, alpacas, llamas, and vicuñas. While on their journey, the two learn the importance of friendship, the value of teamwork, and the fact that everyone can be brave and joyful. In this delightful fable for children, a chinchilla and a vizcacha on a great South American adventure discover what makes each of them special and how together, they can overcome their fears and challenges.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR John Biggar is a professional mountaineering instructor based in Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. His first publication was an internal report for the nuclear physics department at Edinburgh University, entitled "Anisotropies in the Sequential Break-up of Li6". Since those days John has done little nuclear physics but has been climbing and ski-mountaineering in the Andes a lot. He has climbed many of the highest peaks, including 19 of the 20 highest, made over 100 ascents of 6000m peaks, plus 180 ascents of Andean 5000m peaks. He has made first ascents of six 6000m peaks and also made the first ski descent of Domuyo, the highest peak in Patagonia. A professional mountaineering instructor, he runs a business which specialises in mountaineering, skiing and ski-mountaineering expeditions to South America.
In this book, the author describes his climbing adventures prior to his solo mountaineering days. He began with mountains in Ecuador guided by American Alpine Institute, culminating in a climb of the highest peak in the country, Chimborazo (20,564 feet), in 1989. Because of its height and its proximity to the Equator, it is the highest mountain on Earth when measured from sea level and closest to the Sun when measured from the Earth's core. The next year, he went to Bolivia with the same company and climbed peaks there, the most notable, Illimani (21,122 feet). In 1991, he journeyed to Argentina to attempt the highest mountain in the Andes, Aconcagua (22,841 feet), by the difficult Polish Glacier Direct route, once more with AAI. After that expedition, he felt he had the skills to try things on his own, and he tells of certain of those climbs in his, "Clawing for the Stars. A Solo Climber in the Highest Andes".
