About this listen

 "Epic" is a mountaineering term that evokes a sense of treacherous disaster. The climb that went wrong: fighting blinding snowstorms and horrific avalanches; days spent tentbound running low on food, water, and oxygen; surviving broken bones and shattered spirits. This program offers a collection of the most memorable accounts of legend-making expeditions to the world's most famous peaks, often in the worst possible conditions.©1997 Clint Willis; 1997 Balliett & Fitzgerald and Clint Willis (P)1999 Listen & Live Audio, Inc.

A must for all mountaineers

Some of the classic tales of mountaineering compiled into a well narrated compendium...I didn't know all the climbers, but there was plenty of action from Chris Boardman, Don Whillans and Doug Scott to keep my interest going...

Mint!

Great book to listen of a series of short stories. Long enough to get interested in the story but short enough to not get bored
