Ascent Audiobook Summary
Hear Sir Chris Bonington’s extraordinary story, read by Gordon Griffin. His memoir Ascent charts not only his many triumphs in the climbing world – such as the Eiger, and the Himalayas – but also the struggles he has faced in his life bringing up a family, and maintaining a successful and loving marriage over the decades of travelling the world to conquer mountains.
He has undertaken nineteen Himalayan expeditions, including four to Mount Everest which he climbed in 1985 at the age of fifty, and has made many first ascents in the Alps and greater ranges of the world. Along the way his many adventures have included meeting the mercurial Dougal Haston; the legendary-tough Don Whillans, the philosopher of the rock Stephen Venables, and the enigmatic Doug Scott, plus many more.
Ascent is a memoir like no other – a timely and uplifting narrative for anyone who has ever dreamed of adventure.
