Brian Hall was one of them and, in High Risk, he describes their daring adventures and the counterculture they lived within, their rivalries and relationships, and the terrible price many of them paid.

Denne bog, skrevet af en dansk bjergbestiger, beretter om menneskets utrættelige stræben efter at komme til tops. Onsdag den 14. december 2005 kl. 22.30 nåede den danske bjergbestiger Søren Gudmann toppen af bjerget Vinson på Antarktis.

On February 15, 2015, Kate Matrosova, an avid mountaineer, set off before sunrise for a traverse of the Northern Presidential Range in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Late the following day, rescuers carried her frozen body out of the mountains amid some of the worst weather ever recorded on these deceptively rugged slopes. At thirty-two, Matrosova was healthy and had already summited much larger mountains. What went wrong? Where You'll Find Me offers possible answers to that question.

"È una lotta veramente disperata la nostra, fra la realtà e noi stessi, ma alla fine siamo noi a vincere e alle 12:30 esatte le nostre bandierine sventolano o meglio sbattono al vento burrascoso della vetta. Siamo sulla punta massima del GIV a 7980 metri di quota". Così Walter Bonatti rievoca la conquista del Gasherbrum IV da parte della spedizione italiana il 6 agosto del 1958. Un’epica impresa tra le nevi perenni del Karakorum, diversa da tutte le altre, compiuta su una via che nessuno mai più ripeterà nei successivi sessant’anni.

Ein Mann – eine Legende. Reinhold Messner hat in seinem Leben zahlreiche "Grenzgänge" gewagt. Nicht selten begegneten ihm Wunder der Natur, oft verfolgte ihn der Tod. Ob auf den höchsten Gipfeln, in trockenen Steinwüsten oder im antarktischen Eis, überall suchte Messner seine Grenzen. In drei Vorträgen berichtet er u. a. vom Everest und Nanga Parbat, der Wüste Gobi und seinen Reisen in die Polarregionen. Diese Hörbuch-Sammlung weiß zu unterhalten und zu informieren, eine gelungene Mischung.

Amid all the foreign adventurers that throng to Nepal to scale the world's highest peaks, there exists a small tribe of mountain people at the foothills of Himalayas. Sherpa tells their story. It's the story of endeavour and survival at the roof of the world. The story dives into their culture and tells of their existence at the edge of life and death. It traces their story pre- and post-mountaineering revolution, their evolution as climbing crusaders with never previously published stories from the most notable and incredible Sherpas of the last 50 years.

Ever since Europeans started exploring the world’s highest mountains and trying to reach their summits in the early 20th century, Sherpas have been an integral part of mountaineering expeditions to the Himalayas. In this anthology curated from his popular Footsteps on the Mountain blog, Mark Horrell explores the evolution of Sherpa mountaineers, from the porters of early expeditions to the superstar climbers of the present day.

On the 23rd of May 2019, Hakan Bulgurlu became one of the fortunate few to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. To stand on top of the world’s highest mountain is a humbling experience; to bear witness to nature at its most awe-inspiring and powerful is even more humbling. Bulgurlu’s quest to climb Everest came with a purpose: Making the environment the centre of his ambition to highlight the catastrophic effect climate change is having on our planet, to lead by example and to seek out practical solutions.

On a mountain somewhere above treeline, in some of the coldest and worst winter conditions imaginable, two men lie unconscious in the snow as explosive winds batter the nearby summits. In The Last Traverse: Tragedy and Resilience in the Winter Whites, Ty Gagne masterfully lays out the events that led up to an epic and legendary rescue attempt in severe and dangerous winter conditions in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. More than a cautionary tale, it is a tribute to all the volunteers and professionals who willingly put themselves in harm's way to save lives.

Oggi le montagne d'Italia e del mondo - le Dolomiti e il Monte Bianco, l'Everest e il K2, il Kilimanjaro e il Gran Sasso - sono soprattutto spazi di divertimento e avventura. Ma i sentieri, le pareti di roccia e di ghiaccio, le piste da sci e le vette sono solo una parte del quadro. Per millenni, in ogni angolo della terra, le montagne sono state territori di duro lavoro quotidiano, fonte di paura e luoghi eletti a culto, scenario di sfide che hanno messo alla prova le umane possibilità, oltre che teatro di guerra.

Simone Moro ripercorre vent'anni di spedizioni in Himalaya senza nascondere nulla, né le grandi soddisfazioni né le difficoltà e le rinunce. Il suo è un lungo viaggio di avvicinamento, dalle Alpi bergamasche fino in cima al sogno di raggiungere la vetta più alta della Terra. L'Everest per Simone non è solo una vetta da raggiungere, è la ragione per cui vale la pena di crescere, di camminare dal campo base alla cima, attraverso crepacci, successi, bufere improvvise, momenti di sconforto, incontri con amici veri e persone di cui è meglio non fidarsi.
