Higher Than The Eagle Soars

High and wild places have dominated Stephen Venables› life and now he has
written a full autobiography which explores how and why he became a
mountaineer. At its climax he revisits his dramatic success without oxygen on
the Kangshung Face of Everest, described by Reinhold Messner as the most
adventurous in Everest’s history and by Lord Hunt as ‹one of the most
remarkable ordeals from which men or women have returned alive›. As Stephen
writes: ‹Although we didn’t go seeking a near-death experience, it did turn
out that way›.

Higher Than The Eagle Soars is a well written and candid autobiography from
one of Britain’s best known mountaineers.
