Description

Alan Hinkes' remarkable journey to climb all 14 of the world's highest mountains, each over 8000m, is a testament to human endurance and determination. This stunning large-format book chronicles his experiences, from the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayan and Karakoram ranges to the harrowing struggles of survival in the 'death zone'.

Through vivid photographs and intimate storytelling, Hinkes shares the stories of his climbing companions, the setbacks and triumphs, and the life that has led him to become the first Briton to reach all the 8000ers. A gripping account of adventure, loss, and personal growth, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves the mountains.
