In May 1988 Stephen Venables pushed on alone to the summit of Everest, following and ascent of the Kangshung (East) Face. He was only the eighth Briton to stand on top of the world's highest mountain, and the first to do so without the use of oxygen supplies. In this book the author shares all of his experiences of this feat - the triumphs, the rows, and the last desperate struggle for survival in the area known as the "death zone", 26,000 feet above sea level.
