Inspiring Reads

Two poignant reads about when things go wrong. On 25 January 2018, Élisabeth Revol and her climbing partner Tomasz Mackiewicz summited the ‘Killer Mountain’, Nanga Parbat. But their euphoria was soon overtaken by terror when Tomasz was struck by snow blindness. In To Live, Élisabeth tells the harrowing story of this tragedy, the rescue mission which resounded across the globe, and ultimately the heartbreak of having survived, alone.

An acclaimed mountaineering classic, Ralph Barker’s The Last Blue Mountain is an epic tale of friendship and resilience in the face of tragedy. In 1957, four young climbers realised the summit of Mount Haramosh in Pakistan’s Karakoram range was out of reach. Their retreat to camp was interrupted by an avalanche, which separated the group into two pairs. But just as they began to think they were safe, another cruel twist of fate presented itself. This gift box includes an exclusive Inspiring Adventure notebook in which to plan your next adventure, and three stunning notelets of an autumnal scene, deer and the Waymaking cover artwork.
