"Life is either an adventure of nothing", observed Helen Keller. Of course, the concept of adventure is subjective. It's all about choice really. In this case, the choice involves the adventure of a lifetime - to see what lies around the next bend, to seek out the unknown, to satisfy curiosity and to push the limits. 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 Explorers Grand Slam. To earn this accolade, a climber must successfully reach the summit of the highest mountain on each of the seven continents 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 an 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 in the authors' sometimes hair-raising escapades.
Soft cover, good condition.
