Krátky popis
My eyes lifted to the horizon and the unmistakable snowy outline of
Everest. Everest, the mountain of my childhood dreams. A mountain
that has haunted me my whole life.A mountain I have seen hundreds
of times in photographs and films but never in real life. In April
2018, seasoned adventurer Ben Fogle and Olympic cycling gold
medallist Victoria Pendleton, along with mountaineer Kenton Cool,
took on their most exhausting challenge yet - climbing Everest for
the British Red Cross to highlight the environmental challenges
mountains face. It would be harrowing and exhilarating in equal
measure as they walked the fine line between life and death 8,000
metres above sea level.For Ben, the seven-week expedition into the
death zone was to become the adventure of a lifetime, as well as a
humbling and enlightening journey. For his wife Marina, holding the
family together at home, it was an agonising wait for news.
Together, they dedicated the experience to their son, Willem Fogle,
stillborn at eight months.Cradling little Willem to say goodbye,
Ben and Marina made a promise to live brightly. To embrace every
day. To always smile.To be positive and to inspire. And from the
depths of their grief and dedication, Ben's Everest dream was born.
Up, from here the only way was Up.Part memoir, part thrilling
adventure, Ben and Marina's account of his ascent to the roof of
the world is told with their signature humour and warmth, as well
as with profound compassion.
