Reviews
Success on all of the seven summits is a feat in itself, made all the more remarkable by the fact that they were all summited at the first attempt. However, Alistair’s hardest climb is his recovery from a near fatal brain haemorrhage. All of the survival skills that a climber uses every day in the mountains have, undoubtedly, helped prepare Alistair for this, his greatest challenge. -- Sir Chris Bonington, Britain’s foremost mountaineer
All I can say is the book is wholeheartedly amazing. Each page keeps you intrigued and curious to know more about Alistair’s experiences and adventures. You could sense the emotions expressed by pure determination and sucess. Truly inspirational. -- Tracey Young on Amazon
