Synopsis

Poles Apart shares the adventures of Sean Disney and Vaughan De La Harpe as they travel around the globe to become the first South Africans to achieve the Explorer's Grand Slam. To earn this accolade, a climber must successfully reach the summit of the highest mountain on each of the seven continents - Mount Everest, SE Ridge (Asia), Carstenz Pyramid (Australasia), Kilimanjaro (Africa), Aconcagua (South America), Denali (North America), Elbrus (Europe), Vinson Massif (Antarctica) - and must ski haul to both the North and South Poles. This is a prestigious group that presently counts fewer than 50 people in the world as its members. Entertainingly written by David Bristow in interview style, Poles Apart breaks the mould of conventional adventure accounts and mountaineering offerings. Its combination of irreverence, humour, drama and fact will have you on the edge of your seat sharing the authors' sometimes hair-raising escapades and remarkable accomplishments.
