I listened to this and HIGH. Both are excerpts from books by well-known climbers or adventurers. I seem to need stories of survival to help me deal with difficult times in my own life (it is currently the covid isolation and the lead up to the 2020 election that has me in high anxiety). In the introduction, Willis notes that an Epic adventure is one that does not go well, often involving the death a participant. In this selection there are more frozen toes and hands that I ever remember as well as a number of deaths. I liked the inclusion of a part of Shackleton’s story of the Endurance - a selection with no deaths and amazing survival.
