EPIC Stories of Survival from the World's Highest Peaks

Listeners will find it hard to turn this off before the end of any of its stories. Clint Willis has collected long excerpts from seven of the greatest and most literary mountaineering adventure books, giving us six hours of provocative, high-quality listening that will inspire families, hikers, and armchair adventurers. Highlights include Graeme Malcolm's strikingly moving reading of Alfred Lansing's ENDURANCE: SHACKLETON'S INCREDIBLE VOYAGE, and MINUS 148 DEGREES: THE WINTER ASCENT OF MT. MCKINLEY by Art Davidson, read expertly and emotionally by Rick Adamson. S.E.S. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 00]
