Synopsis

The remarkabe story of the man who has walked to the South Pole and has climbed the highest mountain in every continent of the world. This is the story of a truly extraordinary man, a british explorer who ranks alongside Ran Fiennes and Chris Bonington. Taking us close to his triumphs - and his near-disasters - this is a must for real-life and armchair explorers.
