Irish Mountain Log, Autumn 2006
The quality and content of the superb photography greatly
enchances the interest of this book. Each chapter has an ingenious
water-colour "map" to accompany it. The book is 'coffee-table' size and
very good at the price. I strongly recommend it.

Excellent photos and interesting stories of 12 treks to places like Mount Kailash, Everest, Kangchenjunga and K2
16 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
Details 12 of Colin's treks over the years - Greenland, climbing Chongtar near K2 North Face, New Zealand Alps, Everest Kangshung East Face, Mount Kailash and Gurla Mandhata, northern Bhutan. Mongolia's Altai mountains, South Georgia on Shackleton's route, Tibet's Kangri Garpo mountain, ski traverse of Mount McKinley, Nepalese side of Kangchenjunga, and Tiera del Fuego and Patagonia.
There is an 18-page chapter on Colin's 1998 trek via Simikot to Mount Kailash in Tibet and an attempt to climb Gurla Mandhata, getting to within 150m of the summit. "Dazzled by the brightness of the scene, I squinted and stared at Kailas, seemingly afloat above the holy lake of Rakas Tal and Manasarovar, vast life-giving oceans of turquoise water adrift on a parched highland desert. I stood transfixed ..."
There is a 20-page chapter on the trek from Kharta up the Karma Valley to the Kangshung East Face of Everest. There are also great photos of Makalu and Chomolonzo from the trek.
There is a 14-page chapter on the trek via Walungchunggola and Yangma to Kangchenjunga North Base Camp.
Colin's photos are excellent.
