Everest: It's Not About the Summit by Alex Roddie, Ellis Stewart

5.0

I’ve had this book on my Kindle since March but hadn’t got around to reading it yet, but as I’m attending a book tour by the author soon I thought I’d better get it in beforehand and boy am I glad I did. WOW what a fantastic read. I’ve read this in one sitting today completely gripped by it. As a big fan of all things Everest and having been to Base Camp myself and visited Tibet too not to mention three tips to Kathmandu it was brilliant to be able to picture some of the places he mentions but even if you’ve never left your couch this is an excellent read. Written from the heart it’s a warts and all account of his life, his loves and his dream to stand on the top of Everest and everything he had to do to try to achieve that not just once but twice
