Sherpa legend told of an enchanted valley with an invisible village, Shangri-La, that was said to be a place of great beauty.

The valley became the nemesis of legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who travelled there to climb 7,129m Baruntse, but succumbed to the irresistible draw of Makalu, the great black mountain which towered over the valley. Makalu vanquished him, and he was never the same climber again.

Fifty years later, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek up the Barun Valley to follow in Hillary's footsteps - at least some of the way. He hoped to climb Baruntse, but when he arrived, he learned of a terrible accident that had shaken the climbing community and would threaten his plans.

Yet one of the virtues of climbing in the Himalayas is that just reaching a mountain can be a great adventure. Join Mark on an entertaining journey across jungle, moorland, hill and valley to the frozen heights of the Barun Plateau.

About this series

The Footsteps on the Mountain Diaries are Mark's expedition journals. They are edited versions of what he scribbles in his tent each evening after a day in the mountains, with a bit of history thrown in. Light-hearted and engaging, they provide a perfect introduction to life on the trail.

He has published two full-length books: Seven Steps from Snowdon to Everest (2015), about his ten-year journey from hill walker to Everest climber, and Feet and Wheels to Chimborazo (2019), about an expedition to cycle and climb from sea level to the furthest point from the centre of the earth.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

For many years Mark Horrell has been writing what has been described as one of the most credible Everest opinion blogs out there. He writes about trekking and mountaineering from the often silent perspective of the commercial client. For nearly 20 years he has been exploring the world's greater mountain ranges and keeping a diary of his travels. As a writer he strives to do for mountain history what Bill Bryson did for long-distance hiking. His favourite mountaineering book is The Ascent of Rum Doodle by W.E. Bowman.

Battling the snow on Baruntse

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 20 maggio 2015

Acquisto verificato

The two Marks embark on a very wet trek where trying to find a way to get their clothes dry for the next day is the biggest challenge. The trek takes them to the Makalu base camp despite issues with striking porters, ready to climb the snowy peak of Baruntse. The weather however is not helping them or their fellow teams with snow, high winds and dangerous conditions.

The story that dominates the book is the tragic death of Chewang Nima, who had climbed to the top of Everest 19 times, and was killed on Baruntse days earlier while fixing ropes near the summit for a rich client. Morals, ethics and rescue are all discussed by the team and their upset sherpas. Other disasters loom with climbers getting frostbite or getting 'lost' in bad weather as the snow continues and frustrations grow at Base Camp.

This book clearly shows the amount of waiting that a climber might have to do to get that elusive attempt at a summit. It shows that you need the weather to cooperate and that bit of luck, which poor Chewang Nima did not have in his freak accident. However good a climber you are, you are still at the mercy of the mountain and when luck is not with you, it can result in death.

Despite the gloomy climbing conditions and bad news, I still enjoy being there on an expedition with the guys. Mark's writing style is uncomplicated and raw which is perfect for the armchair fan to enjoy.

I rate this book 3 out of 5 on my star rating which is different to this site.

A good sense of what an expedition is like

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 12 febbraio 2013

Acquisto verificato

I'd recommend Mark Horrell's books for anyone planning a mountaineering expedition who wants to get a sense of what it's really like - especially the rhythm of travel, climbing and hanging around base camp.

The books are adapted from his blogs, written as he was on the mountain so they give a good idea of day-to-day on an expedition. His companions are often entertaining characters in their own right and he tells a good yarn. And all for under £1.

If I were being very picky, they could do with a little more proof-reading, and the drama of the books doesn't quite live up to his (excellent) choice of titles. But again, they're less than £1 each. It's hard to complain at that price.

This one describes a climb up Baruntse - in which a sherpa from another party, who has summitted Everest multiple times, dies while fixing rope on the upper slopes of the mountain. This happens off-screen, so to speak, but you get a sense of the danger involved in mountaineering

Good travel story

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 maggio 2017

Acquisto verificato

Story about normal for this author. Covers the assent of Baruntsea very well. But more importantly the treak through Himanlayer valleys very well, would be of great help to others contemplating the same journey. Really a day to day narrative and very much the same as previous books by Mark Horrrel.
