The Family that Conquered Everest : And the Secrets to their Success

2014

Climbing Mount Everest is one of mankind’s greatest feats of human endurance. The gruelling expedition to the top of the world’s highest peak is filled with unparalleled physical and mental challenges. In 2008, Alan Mallory and his family took on the challenge and became the first family of four to set foot on the summit. It was a two-month journey filled with emotion, loyalty, boldness and terror. From staggering across ladders spanning bottomless crevasses and fighting the many altitude-related sicknesses to climbing through a blizzard in the dead of night and almost losing two family members’ lives, every segment of the climb was an exhilarating adventure. Richly illustrated with photos from the expedition and other outdoor exploits, this book is a fast-paced and engaging adventure story that also highlights the lifestyle and family values that prepared the Mallory family for success. Their unique journey has mesmerized and inspired families and individuals around the world and this book brings the adventure to life in a whole new way.
