What does it take to be one of the world's best high-altitude mountain climbers? A lot of fundraising; traveling in some of the world's most dangerous countries; enduring cold bivouacs, searing lungs, and a cloudy mind when you can least afford one. It means learning the hard lessons the mountains teach.

Steve House built his reputation on ascents throughout the Alps, Canada, Alaska, the Karakoram and the Himalaya that have expanded possibilities of style, speed, and difficulty. In 2005 Steve and alpinist Vince Anderson pioneered a direct new route on the Rupal Face of 26,600-foot Nanga Parbat, which had never before been climbed in alpine style. It was the third ascent of the face and the achievement earned Steve and Vince the first Piolet d"or (Golden Ice Axe) awarded to North Americans.

Steve is an accomplished and spellbinding storyteller in the tradition of Maurice Herzog and Lionel Terray. Beyond the Mountain is a gripping listen, destined to be a mountain classic. And it addresses many issues common to nonclimbing life -- mentorship, trust, failure success, goal setting, heroes, partnership -- as well as the mountaineer's heightened experience of risk and the deaths of friends. Beyond the Mountain is a window into the process of a man working to be the best he can be.

This was enjoyable listen that kept my attention throughout the entire book. Great story telling with the only exception of jumping frequently from one time frame and story to another. Sometimes it was hard ro follow and had to rewind and relisten. However, this book was unique in Steve House's own reflection and transparency of his mishaps, techniques and achievements. He is really one of a kind and success have cemented his name along the greatest alpineers.

Great book and listen

Narrator in the book just killed it sadly, could not get through it at all despite loving the subject

Narrator ruins potentially great book

I know when it is written in thr first person the author wants to read it himself...another example of not always a good idea to narrate it yourself, deadpan narration. The overallcontent wasn't as interesting as I had hoped so its not a book I will want to return to

Not Great
