Story
One of the inspirations for the major motion picture Everest, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley. This is the true story of a 24-hour period on Everest when members of three separate expeditions were caught in a storm and faced a battle against hurricane-force winds, exposure, and the effects of altitude, which ended the worst single-season death toll in the peak's history.

Story
The Last Great Mountain tells the story of the first ascent of Kangchenjunga the third highest but reputedly the hardest mountain in the world. It was an astonishing achievement for a British team led by Everest veteran Charles Evans. Drawing on interviews, diaries and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey begins his story in 1905 with the disastrous first attempt on the mountain by a team led by Aleister Crowley, explores the three dramatic German expeditions of the the late 1920s and brings it all to a climax 50 years later with the first ascent by Joe Brown and George Band.

Story
In early 2003, a young Wall Street investment banker named Bo Parfet set out to accomplish something very few had done before - climbing the highest mountain on every continent. He was not a professional climber, but what began as a casual interest would soon become a lifelong passion and in just over four years, Bo would overcome the odds and conquer all of the mountains - Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Denali, Vinson Massif, Elbrus, Carstenz Pyramid, Kosciusko, and Everest - with courage, unbridled passion, and determination.

Story
Stephen Alter was raised by American missionary parents in the hill station of Mussoorie, in the foothills of the Himalayas, where he and his wife Ameeta, now live. Their idyllic existence was brutally interrupted when four armed intruders invaded their house and viciously attacked them, leaving them for dead. The violent assault and the trauma of almost dying left him questioning assumptions he had lived by since childhood. For the first time, he encountered the face of evil and the terror of the unknown.

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
Seven years after a brush with death on Mount Rainier, the narrator agrees to join a friend on one of the peak's most dangerous routes. Having vowed never to become That Guy who dies in the mountains, he returns to the narrow ledge between safety and oblivion. Questions swirl in his head as the climb draws near. Does danger breed character, or is mountaineering sheer indulgence?

Story
"È una lotta veramente disperata la nostra, fra la realtà e noi stessi, ma alla fine siamo noi a vincere e alle 12:30 esatte le nostre bandierine sventolano o meglio sbattono al vento burrascoso della vetta. 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.

Story
Oggi le montagne d'Italia e del mondo - le Dolomiti e il Monte Bianco, l'Everest e il K2, il Kilimanjaro e il Gran Sasso - sono soprattutto spazi di divertimento e avventura. Ma i sentieri, le pareti di roccia e di ghiaccio, le piste da sci e le vette sono solo una parte del quadro. Per millenni, in ogni angolo della terra, le montagne sono state territori di duro lavoro quotidiano, fonte di paura e luoghi eletti a culto, scenario di sfide che hanno messo alla prova le umane possibilità, oltre che teatro di guerra.

Story
Il rapporto dell'uomo con la montagna è antichissimo. La montagna, spesso ostile e pericolosa, l'ha protetto dai pericoli, gli ha permesso di cogliere il mondo dall'alto, nel suo insieme, di guardare il cielo e sentirsi più vicino all'infinito. È il luogo in cui l'uomo ritrova sé stesso, spingendosi oltre i propri limiti, nella solitudine delle cime, pur in mezzo ai compagni di cordata. Questo audiolibro è un mosaico di storie di eroi che si sono distinti sulle vette più alte del mondo, realizzando imprese eroiche, salvataggi rischiosi.

Story
"Non è una punta, ma una massa prodigiosa. Il lungo braccio della Cresta Nord-ovest, con i suoi speroni secondari, sembra la cattedrale di Winchester dopo una nevicata." George Leigh Mallory, 1921. È l'Everest: sui suoi pendii da un secolo si cimentano i migliori alpinisti del mondo, da Eric Shipton a Reinhold Messner, da Edmund Hillary a Krzysztof Wielicki, Anatolij Boukreev, Doug Scott, Simone Moro e Alex Txikon. Ma anche avventurieri, topografi, sognatori, scienziati e figure eccezionali come quelle degli sherpa.

Story
I ghiacciai e le vette del Monte Bianco, le sue pareti di granito e le sue creste di neve dove s’incontrano Italia, Francia e Svizzera, formano paesaggi di straordinario fascino. La prima ascensione ai 4810 metri della cima è stata compiuta nel 1786 da Jacques Balmat e Michel-Gabriel Paccard. Da allora, uomini e donne d’avventura come Edward Whymper e Albert Frederick Mummery, Giusto Gervasutti e Walter Bonatti, Christophe Profit, Catherine Destivelle e tanti altri hanno compiuto imprese straordinarie. Il libro racconta le loro speranze, i loro trionfi, le tragedie che hanno segnato questi due secoli e mezzo.
