In Distant Snows, mountaineer John Harding recollects his worldwide adventures spanning sixty years. He climbed many classic peaks, explored obscure ranges, and pioneered ski mountaineering expeditions in Turkey, Spain and Greece. A must-read for mountaineers, lovers of the natural world and those with aspirations of adventure.

The Storms is the memoir of British Army Gurkha officer Mike Trueman, a veteran of twenty mountaineering expeditions to the Himalaya. Trueman, a former army helicopter pilot, gives a candid account of life inside expeditions to Mount Everest, including a unique personal perspective on the 1996 Everest disaster.

Dougal Haston's Calculated Risk is a fictional portrayal of the world of mountaineering in its 1970s mountaineering heyday: a tale of love, major ascents and tragedy. The realities and tensions of big-time climbing, firmly focussed on the Alps and the Himalaya, are revealed with greater clarity through the medium of fiction.

The second volume of Mick Fowler's autobiography, On Thin Ice covers his alpine climbs in the Americas and Asia, and the Himalayan challenges attempted while holding down a nine-to-five job and raising a family. A combination of exotic travel with major ascents provide the reader with the ultimate adrenalin-soaked 'holiday experience'!
