The Last Great Mountain tells the story of the first ascent of Kangchenjunga the third highest but reputedly the hardest mountain in the world. It was an astonishing achievement for a British team led by Everest veteran Charles Evans. Drawing on interviews, diaries and unpublished accounts, Mick Conefrey begins his story in 1905 with the disastrous first attempt on the mountain by a team led by Aleister Crowley, explores the three dramatic German expeditions of the the late 1920s and brings it all to a climax 50 years later with the first ascent by Joe Brown and George Band. The Last Great Mountain is the final instalment of Mick Conefrey's acclaimed high-altitude trilogy.

great story, very well read but the sound engineer left in all the edits and didn't cut them out so you end up with repeated sections

Good reading poor engineering

Narration was not perfect, with some passages repeated. The story lived up to the others by this author.

Another bit of mountaineering history

This is a great book and very well read. Only criticism is the editing, there are a number of occasions where lines are repeated and respoken that just haven't been removed in the final production, very strange. Only a minor irritation.

Excellent Adventure

I would approximate that at least once every 30 minutes there is a phrase or sentence repeated due to poor editing. One is repeated twice and on one occasion the narrator gets the phrase backwards, repeats the offending word order correctly under his breath and then repeats it again . It's such a shame as it really takes you out of the flow of the narrative each time.

Would still recommend it though, which says a lot about the strength of the writing.

Strong book and narration, very poor editing

This is the third of Mick Conefrey's books performed by Barnarby Edwards. Like the other two books it is fascinating. However, it is really poorly edited and on several occasions phrases are repeated as the right intonation is sought.

Poorly edited conclusion to a Fantastic trilogy
