Story
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.

This classic essay from Jon Krakauer is now available as an unabridged audiobook download. This essay is also included in the Classic Krakauer collection. From the best-selling author of Missoula and Into the Wild: a selection of the singular investigative journalism that made Krakauer famous, covering topics from avalanches on Mt. Everest to a volcano in Washington state; from a wilderness therapy program for teens to an extraordinary cave in New Mexico so unearthly that is used by NASA to better understand Mars.

Story
On the night of April 9, 1997, Warren Macdonald, a fit and experienced bushwalker, set out to climb Mount Bowen on Hinchinbrook Island, an unspoiled tropical paradise off the Australian coast. These would be his last steps as a fully intact human being: a freak rock fall pinned him for two days alone under a one-ton boulder, resulting in a double leg amputation. A Test of Will is a story both tragic and inspiring, conveying the horror of what happened and the extraordinary spirit that helped Macdonald survive a seemingly impossible ordeal.

Story
There is but one aim: the summit, the summit of Mount Everest. What starts with a trouble-free trek into the Nepalese highlands explodes into a gripping tale of hardship, peril, and adversity. Pushed beyond their physical and mental limits, climbers drop by the wayside. Their primal instincts for survival battle with their dogged resolve to drag themselves to the top of the world. But the focus remains: battle to the summit, and if successful, somehow get back down again.

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.

Story
The Seventymile Kid tells the remarkable account of Harry Karstens, who was the actual—if unheralded—leader of the Hudson Stuck Expedition that was the first to summit Mount McKinley in Alaska. All but forgotten by history, a young Karstens arrived in the Yukon during the 1897 Gold Rush, gained fame as a dog musher hauling U.S. Mail in Alaska, and eventually became the first superintendent of Mount McKinley National Park (now known as Denali National Park and Preserve).

Story
Quando nel 1961 pubblica Le mie montagne, il suo primo libro, Walter Bonatti ha da rac- contare oltre un decennio di imprese impossibili, trionfi e sofferenze: dalla scalata sullo sperone Walker (a 19 anni) all’odissea sul Pilone Centrale, passando per il Grand Capucin, il Dru e la fatidica notte all’addiaccio sul K2. Se questo libro segnerà una svolta nella sua vita, sarà anche per il riaccendersi delle braci che covavano proprio sotto la memoria di quell’episodio.

Story
What makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-confidence, curiosity, optimism, authority—and fundraising ability. Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the world's most famous adventurers.

Story
Nims Purja è stato un bambino assetato di avventura e di giustizia, partito da un villaggio nepalese per diventare un soldato gurkha e trasformatosi poi, tra combattimenti e scalate, in un alpinista inarrestabile con una sfida da vincere. E con qualcosa da dimostrare: che possiamo spingere più avanti, e più in alto, i confini dell'impensabile. Sotto lo sguardo degli dèi della montagna si svolge così la sua missione impossibile: salire in sette mesi tutti gli Ottomila della Terra («settimana più, settimana meno»: e saranno meno).

Story
"This is the tale of Mark Horrell’s not-so-nearly ascent of Gasherbrum in Pakistan, of how one man’s boredom and frustration was conquered by a gutsy combination of exhaustion, cowardice, and sheer mountaineering incompetence. He made not one, not two, but three intrepid assaults, some of which got quite a distance beyond Base Camp, and overcame many perilous circumstances along the way. The mountaineer Joe Simpson famously crawled for three days with a broken leg, but did he ever have to read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while waiting for a weather window?

Story
Tom Ballard fu "figlio della montagna" nel senso più profondo del termine. Non è un'ardita metafora, ma la sintesi di un rapporto che è stato prima genetico e poi animato da una passione esclusiva, irrefrenabile, assoluta. Era figlio di Alison Hargreaves, "la più forte delle donne alpiniste", secondo Reinhold Messner. E anche una delle più controverse: aveva scalato l'Eiger tre mesi prima di dare alla luce Tom, sollevando un vespaio di polemiche.

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.
