Toughing it Out
The Adventures of a Polar Explorer and Mountaineer

The remarkable story of the man who has walked to the south pole and has climbed the highest mountain in every continent in the world.

David Hempleman Adams ranks alongside Ranulph Fiennes and Chris Bonnington in the pantheon of British explorers and adventurers.

Taking us close to his triumphs and to his near disasters - he describes

his concerns about how his wife and children are coping without him at Christmas;

his terror on Mount Everest, when a step in the wrong direction could result in death;

and his feelings of euphoria when, 59 days after starting out across the Atlantic wastes, he sees the South Pole station glinting in the distance.

CONDITION:At first glance this book appears new but it isn't, there is one minor crease to the spine and one minor spot to end papers. This could be the result of being on the shelf and browsed lightly.
