Epic

Stories of Survival from the World's Highest Peaks

De: Greg Child, David Roberts, Stephen Venables

"Epic" is a mountaineering term that evokes a sense of treacherous disaster. The climb that went wrong: fighting blinding snowstorms and horrific avalanches; days spent tentbound running low on food, water, and oxygen; surviving broken bones and shattered spirits. This program offers a collection of the most memorable accounts of legend-making expeditions to the world's most famous peaks, often in the worst possible conditions.©1997 Clint Willis; 1997 Balliett & Fitzgerald and Clint Willis (P)1999 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

"If you liked Jon Krakauer's Into Thin Air, read this book." (Peter Kadzis, Editor, The Boston Phoenix)

I truly enjoyed the inspiring stories of true inspiration, hearing how they come to pure happiness and utter desperation and eventual acceptance that death is claiming them. But then able to continue on.

Chronicles of misery.

Nothing here will make you want to go mountain climbing. It is a string of stories, each detailing an adventure that devolved into perfect misery.
