Beyond the Mountain

House’s first book focuses on what it takes to be one of the world’s best high-altitude mountain climbers - raising funds, negotiating some of the world’s most dangerous countries, suffering freezing-cold bivouacs, enduring the discomforts of high altitude, and learning the hard lessons. These stories are loosely organized around his three expeditions to Nanga Parbat. Messner has called him “the best high-altitude climber in the world today”.
