High: Stories Of Survival From Everest & K2

Selections by David Roberts, Matt Dickinson, Chris Bonington, Ed Webster, Brummie Stokes, Jim Haberl, Charles Clarke, Charles Houston, F.S. Smythe and Robert Bates

Everest and K2—two of the most feared and respected peaks in the world. High offers a unique perspective on climbing these two peaks, from early exploration disasters, to the modern tragedies. With writing from Matt Dickinson, Chris Bonington, David Roberts and others, these stories remind us, in vivid written accounts, why Everest and K2 are among the world's most dangerous places, yet why the world's best climbers can't stay away from them. High is an adventure audiobook at its most compelling.
