From an avalanche that wiped out his base camp to an encounter with a band of Khampas fleeing the Chinese occupation of Tibet, Joe simpson draws upon his own experiences to write this moving and far reaching book. / The book's major theme is the nature of aggression. A skinhead in a Sheffield bar sets the reader up for the genocide that is modern Tibetan history ¿ what makes Joe Simpson stand out is his belief that there is more to life then a crampon, and his dogged refusal to leave the highest mental peaks unchallenged. - Sara Wheeler, Daily Telegraph
