"This is a superb collection of some of the best mountain and adventure writing of the century." - Michael Kennedy, Editor, Climbing Magazine

Everest and K2 - Two of the most feared and respected peaks in the world. High offers a unique perspective on climbing these two peaks, from early exploration disasters, to the modern tragedies.

With writing from Matt Dickinson, Chris Bonington, David Roberts and others, these stories remind us, in vivid accounts why Everest and K2 are among the world's most dangerous places, yet why the world's best climbers can't stay away from them.

High is an adventure audiobook at its most compelling.

I felt cold just listening to it

I've always been a big fan of travel writing, but have recently discovered that travel audio is even better. I listened to this anthology over several nights and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time.

Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want.

Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again.
