Product Information

skips the most harrowing part of K2, including the section climbers have to shimmy across single-file where 4 or 5 people died in 2008 alone. Even though he had numerous brushes with death, saved lives and lost family - the emotion just seemed to be missing. Here, in a modern version, the Nepalese climber, Nimsdai Purja, who wrote this book with the help of my transcription client Matt Allen, sets out to achieve something “impossible” – climbing all fourteen over-8,000m mountain peaks in Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan and China in less than the previous record of seven years and several months. From his childhood growing up in Nepal, to a career as an elite soldier in the British army, Purja shows how his early life shaped him and enabled him to go beyond what people though was possible.

the way he describes his experience shows mostly how remarkable he is to be able to do this incredible thing.Mountaineering is the subject that I really like and more of that I like books about survival, human abilities, and those doing impossible because that's so inspirational for me. I decided to put this down ro cultural differences and not to let it get in tge way of listening to what had been achieved. Oh, and he breaks several world records while training for and accomplishing Bremont Project Possible (as part of the challenge, he takes his sponsor’s watch faces to each peak, then they can be sold as such). The author's alpha-male attitude, the patriarchal way of hiding emotions, and his claim that he fears nothing might not inspire most readers. The energy of the book gives it pace and you whip through, rather as Purja nips up verticals… Whether or not you are a lover of the mountains, you will marvel at his tenacity, his fearlessness.

Future adventurers who have read Olson's nonfiction title Into the Clouds: The Race to Climb the World's Most Dangerous Mountain or the fictional Peak (Smith) or Everest (Korman) series, Beyond Possible offers a fascinating look at what it takes to climb these imposing peaks right now. Seeing how vividly all the trial and tribulations are explained in the book, I have a new level of respect for all the Sherpa brothers and anyone who even dares to go through this. Amazing story and incredible accomplishments, but something about this just didn’t sit right with me.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this blog’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
