Review : Climb every mountain

Bored with life at the top, 33-year-old advertising executive and mountaineer
Robert Mads Anderson set off on a year-long solo challenge to conquer the
highest peak on each of the world’s continents. Luckily he survived to tell this
well written (and beautifully illustrated) tale, To Everest via Antarctica (Swan
Hill Press, £18.95, ISBN 1 85310 820 0).
