1.		Facing Up: A Remarkable Journey to the Summit of Everest from Pan Books Price: £4.99 Customer Review: If you like Bear then you'll like this book. He's obviously made of strong stuff and he has a story to tell but unfortunately he isn't really a writer and doesn't capture the real essence of high altitude mountaineering and its inherent risks as succinctly as other writers within the genre. The... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Psychovertical from Hutchinson Price: £11.39 Customer Review: Though far from conventional it is pleasing, after a couple of years with conceptual winners, to have the 2008 Boardman Tasker Award presented to an uncomplicated climbing book telling terrifying tales of epics in the mountains. `Psychovertical' is a welcome addition to the ever expanding legacy of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Into Thin Air: Personal Account of the Everest Disaster from Pan Books Price: £5.19 Customer Review: This has to be the best book I have read in a long time. I literally could not put it down ! It was gripping. The mountineering side of it is explained in laymans terms and overall it is extremely well written. Probably the kind of book I will even read twice over.

5.		Mountains of the Mind from Granta Books Price: £6.29 Customer Review: ...is not a passion halved in this case. I, like MacFarlane, am a bloke slightly obsessed with mountains and he took me back to some good memories of climbs that I will probably never attempt again. It was with open-eyed exhilaration that I read this book. Splendid reading, even for those who like... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The Beckoning Silence from Vintage Price: £5.99 Customer Review: In the world of mountaineering writing Joe Simpson is without peer. There seem to be two reasons for this. First, Simpson is one of those people to whom things just keep happening. Famously, in "Touching the Void", he shatters a leg in a fall, is left to die at high altitude by his climbing partner... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Thin White Line from Hutchinson Price: £13.29 Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed "Learning To Breath" as it dealt with the people involved in climbing and the author's pre-climbing history. This volume rather dwells on the tragic events at the end of the author's Changabang ascent and to be frank, drifts rather aimlessly to a conclusion. The conclusion,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
