Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Stephen Venables is one of the greatest British climbers of his generation and he 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 four continents. At its climax he revisits his drama…tic success without oxygen on the Kangshung Face of Everest, described by Reinhold 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.'. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardback. Condición: Good. Higher Than the Eagle Soarsdistills "the intense essence" of his Everest climb, concentrating on the drama of the final climb and nightmarish descent. It is an intimate and epic account of an event that confirmed Venables as the greatest British climber of his generation. I have been wanting for some t…ime now to revisit the Everest climb. Although the book I wrote about it [Everest: Alone at the Summit] was very successful and has appeared in four different editions, it conformed superficially to an "expedition book," telling the whole story from beginning to end, with considerable technical detail. It would be good to go back and extract the intense essence of the story, concentrating on the drama of the final climb and nightmarish descent, making a grand finale to the book. Although Everest wasn't the end of my climbing career, it was a big turning point: it had quelled the demon of ambition and I sensed that I would probably never do anything quite so extreme in the mountains. And, 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. 370 pages.

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This copy appears to be unread. Stephen Venables s most recent book, Ollie, was a Sunday Times bestseller. He 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 Reinhold 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.
