Detailed Product Description

2007, 1st UK edition. Stehen Venables, who made the first solo ascent of a new route on Everest's Kangshung Face, has now written a full autobiography which explores how and - more importantly - why he became a mountaineer, and reveals a series of never-recorded adventures on several continents.

At its climax he revisits his dramatic, near-fatal success without oxygen on the Kangshung face of Everest, described by Reinheld Messner as the most adventurous in Everest's history and by Lord Hunt as 'one of the most remarkable ordeals from which men or women have returned alive'.

As Venables writes: 'Although we didn't go seeking deliberately an epic near-death experience, it did turn out that way - the ultimate endurance test for which all the previous adventures seemed, retrospectively, to be a preparation.' Hardcover, DJ, New. Winner of the Banff Mountain Festival Mountain Literature Prize 2007. SIGNED by Stephen Venables.
